When he came to the hermitage, he was hospitably received by the Rishi's wife. But proud of prowess, he was not pleased with the reception. By force and in defiance of all resistance, he seized and carried off from the hermitage the chief cow whose milk supplied the sacred Ghee, not at all heeding the loud lowing of her calf. And he wantongly pulled down the trees of the forest.
तमाश्रमपदं प्राप्तमृर्भार्या समार्चयत्। स युद्धमदसम्मत्तो नाभ्यनन्दत् तथार्चनम्॥ प्रमथ्य चाश्रमात् तस्माद्धोमधेनोस्तथा बलात्। जहार वत्सं क्रोशन्त्या बभञ्ज च महादुमान्॥
