व्यास उवाच ॥ तस्मिन् दैत्याधिपे पौरे सभ्रातरि विमोहिते ॥ सनत्कुमार किं वासीत्तदाचक्ष्वाखिलं विभो ॥ १ ॥

Vyāsa said: When the ruler of the Asuras, his brothers and the citizens were thus deluded, O lord Sanatkumāra, what happened? Please mention everything.

Sanatkumāra said: When the Asuras had become so, when they had abandoned the worship of Śiva, when the virtuous rites of chaste women came to an end and evil conduct came to stay, Viṣṇu was apparently contented.
