Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 76
स तैश्च विद्धो व्यथितो बभूव दैत्येश्वरो विस्रुतशोणिताक्तः । ततोऽस्य किंचिच्चलितस्य धैर्यादुवाच शंखांबुजसार्ङ्गपाणिः
sa taiśca viddho vyathito babhūva daityeśvaro visrutaśoṇitāktaḥ | tato'sya kiṃciccalitasya dhairyāduvāca śaṃkhāṃbujasārṅgapāṇiḥ
أصيب سيد الديتياس بتلك الضربات، وتألم وهو ملطخ بالدماء المتدفقة. وبينما كانت شجاعته تتزعزع قليلاً، تحدث إليه حامل المحارة واللوتس والقوس سارنغا (فيشنو).
Viṣṇu (Śaṅkhāmbuja-Sārṅgapāṇiḥ)
Scene: The daitya-lord stands pierced and trembling, body smeared with flowing blood; opposite him Viṣṇu—bearing conch, lotus, and Sārṅga—lowers his weapon slightly and begins to speak, the battlefield pausing for counsel.
