And, when, overruled a person albeit possessed of time, loseth his sense. On the three worlds, shorn of Auspiciousness, being bereft of strength Daityas and Dānavas began to use force against the celestials. And the Daityas, shorn of Auspiciousness and devoid of strength, being overmastered by covetousness, entered upon hostilities with the celestials, having neither Auspiciousness nor strength.

In plain words: People who are overpowered lose their good sense. With the worlds weakened, the Daityas and Danavas, demon enemies of the gods, were driven by greed. They began to attack the gods.
