svargaṃ ca devatāvāsaṃ pūrvadevavaśānugāḥ.
vidhvaṃsayanti saṃkruddhāstapodhanavanāni ca.. 131.49 ..
Though prohibited by Maya they began to commit acts incurring the displeasure of the Brāhmaṇas and thus went on in their path of destruction. In their anger, they devastated Vaibhṛāja, Nandanavana, Chitrarathavana, Aśokavana, Varaśokavana, which gave fruits and flowers in all the seasons and they destroyed groves of hermits though they were masters of these places. They destroyed the abodes of the Devas, hermits and devotees. The whole universe looked devastated like a field infested with locusts.—47-50.
