v7.c94.28

²²²⁴ In the Viṣṇupurāṇa IV 4 12 Kapila is said to be a part of bhagavān Puruṣottama, who reduced to ashes the 60 thousand sons of Sagara, that suspected that the Aśvamedha horse grazing near that sage must have been stolen by him (IV. 4 16-23) For Vāsudeva Kapila, vide Vanaparva 107. 31-33, where we read (in Chitraśālā ed.) 'ततः क्रुद्धो महाराज कपिलो मुनिसत्तमः। वासुदेवेति यं प्राहुः कपिलं मुनिपुङ्गवम्। ... ददाह सुमहातेजा मन्दबुद्धीन् स सागरान्।'. The story is also mentioned in Vanaparva 47 (7-18)
