Text 46] Ambarīṣa Mahārāja Offended by Durvāsā Muni 123
TRANSLATION
Mahārāja Ambarīṣa, you have invited me to eat as a guest, but instead of feeding me, you yourself have eaten first. Because of your misbehavior, I shall show you something to punish you.
PURPORT
A devotee cannot be defeated by a so-called mystic  yogī . This will be proved by the failure of Durvāsā Muni's endeavor to chastise Mahārāja Ambarīṣa.  Harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇāḥ  ( Bhāg.  5.18.12). One who is not a pure devotee of the Supreme Lord has no good qualifications, however great a mystic, philosopher or fruitive worker he may be. Only a devotee emerges victorious in all circumstances, as will be shown in this incident involving the rivalry between Durvāsā and Mahārāja Ambarīṣa.

TRANSLATION
As Durvāsā Muni said this, his face became red with anger. Uprooting a bunch of hair from his head, he created a demon resembling the blazing fire of devastation to punish Mahārāja Ambarīṣa.
