"Seeing those great asuras who had obtained their boons, the whole company of their friends rejoiced together with them; then they, casting off their matted locks, became crowned with diadems, adorned with precious ornaments, wearing dustless garments; and those lords of the daityas and their friends held an untimely festival of the full moon, granting all desires."

Here austerity is at once followed by idleness and indulgence. It is telling that, no sooner having abandoned tapas, the brothers plunge into luxury and feasting: what was gained, not turned to good, becomes an occasion for self-indulgence. Here is the lesson: the fruit of unrighteous austerity is not purification but dissipation. Thus the scripture shows asceticism giving way to revelry; and after excess, ruin will follow.
