A hunting, the king Ila, the son of Kardama, arrived at that place and saw all animals and trees changed into female forms. And immediately the king and his army were changed into similar forms. Finding himself in that plight the king Ila was greatly sorry, and thinking that the misfortune was owing to the influence of the god of gods Umā's lord, he was greatly terrified.
यच्च किंचन तत्सर्वं नारीसंज्ञं बभूव ह। एतस्मिन्नन्तरे राजा स इल: कर्दमात्मजः॥ निघ्नन्मृगसहस्राणि तं देशमुपचक्रमे। स दृष्ट्वा स्त्रीकृतं सर्व सव्यालमृगपक्षिणम्॥ आत्मानं स्त्रीकृतं चैव सानुगं रघुनन्दन । तस्य दुःखं महच्वासीदृष्ट्वात्मानं तथागतम्॥ उमापतेश्च तत्कर्म ज्ञात्वा त्रासमुपागमत्।
