नष्टद्विजं नष्टतीर्थं स्थानं कृत्वा हि दानवः । परां मुदमवाप्यैव जगाम स्वालयं ततः
naṣṭadvijaṃ naṣṭatīrthaṃ sthānaṃ kṛtvā hi dānavaḥ | parāṃ mudamavāpyaiva jagāma svālayaṃ tataḥ
Sang Dānava menjadikan tempat itu tanpa kaum dvija dan merusak laku suci tīrtha. Setelah memperoleh sukacita tertinggi, ia pun pergi dari sana menuju kediamannya sendiri.
