Parāçara said:—Having said this, the Vipra went away. And, O Brahmana, the monarch of the immortals also, mounting Airavata, went to Amaravati. O Maitreya, from that time the three worlds with Sakra became shorn of Auspiciousness, and the glory thereof faded; and sacrifices and medicinal herbs grew feebler. And no sacrifices are performed, and none practiseth asceticism; and none taketh any delight in good works, such as charity.

In plain words: Durvasa left, and Indra rode back to his city, Amaravati. From then on the three worlds lost their good fortune and their glory faded. Sacrifices and healing plants grew weak, and people stopped worshipping, practicing self-discipline and giving to charity.
