In the Padma Purana,
It is only a cause, Ravana's defeat. What you have done in this birth, you have received the fruits of it. ||70|| Why don't you remember the injustice you did while playing? Your pride born of wealth is now destroyed. Remember that now. ||71|| It seems that because of the long time, the story is not coming to your mind. Therefore, listen with a focused mind, I say. ||72||
In the city of Arijaipur, there was a Vidyaadhara king named Vahnivega. He had arranged the Swayamvara of his daughter named Ahalya, born of Queen Vegavati. ||73|| All the Vidyaadharas, adorned with their respective wealth, came to the Swayamvara, leaving their ranks out of eagerness. ||74|| You also went there, endowed with excellent wealth, and so did Anandamal, the king of Chandraavartapur. ||75|| Leaving all the Vidyaadharas behind, due to the influence of your past karma, Anandamal was chosen by the beautiful girl. ||76|| After marrying her, he enjoyed the pleasures he desired, just as Indra enjoys the ever-increasing pleasures in heaven. ||77|| From then on, you became extremely hostile towards him, driven by intense jealousy. ||78|| Then, due to the favorable nature of his karma, Anandamal suddenly realized that this body is impermanent, and therefore, it is of no use to me. ||79|| I will do penance so that the suffering related to the world will be destroyed. What is the use of hoping for deceitful pleasures? ||80|| Having realized this deeply with his enlightened inner self, he renounced all possessions and undertook the highest penance. ||81|| Once, he was situated on the mountain named Rathaavarta, on the bank of the Hansavali river, in the state of Pratimā Yoga. You recognized him. ||82|| The fire of your past anger, fueled by the sight of him, flared up. Then, mocking him with pride, you laughed repeatedly. ||83||

The karma earned in the past has now been exhausted. What is the wonder in this, that without a cause, there is no effect? ||69|| Ravana is only a cause in your defeat. You have done karma in this birth, and you have received this defeat from them. ||70|| Why don't you remember the injustice you did while playing? Your pride born of wealth is now destroyed. Therefore, remember the past now. ||71|| It seems that because of the long time, the story is not coming to your mind. Therefore, listen with a focused mind, I say. ||72||
