Sūta said:: Yet on account of the Māyā of the lord of Devas and at the behest of lord Viṣṇu, the women abandoned their husbands and became self-willed and unrestrained in their conducts. Misfortune went to the three cities at the behest of that lord himself. The glory and prosperity that they had obtained from Brahmā, the unborn lord, the lord of Devas, abandoned them and went out of the cities.
