TRANSLATION

Maya Danava, the great leader of the demons, prepared three in-
visible residences and gave them to the demons. These dwellings
resembled airplanes made of gold, silver and iron, and they con-
tained uncommon paraphernalia. My dear King Yudhisthira, be-
cause of these three dwellings the commanders of the demons
remained invisible to the demigods. Taking advantage of this op-
portunity, the demons, remembering their former enmity, began
to vanquish the three worlds—the upper, middle and lower plan-
etary systems.
