Translation

Formerly, after conquering the devatās, the demons had taken shelter of Rasātala, taking the women of Svarga with them. Mahārāja Bharata, however, brought them back along with their associates. The demons after defeating the devatās when to Rasātala, and brought the women of Svarga there. Bharata took the women along with their friends from the demons and brought them back to the devatās in Svarga. Another version has paṇibhiḥ (from the demons) instead of prāṇibhiḥ.
