Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 12
ततः शक्रं समुद्दिश्य गदां गुर्वीं मुमोच सः । सर्वायसमयीं रौद्रां यमजिह्वामिवापराम्
tataḥ śakraṃ samuddiśya gadāṃ gurvīṃ mumoca saḥ | sarvāyasamayīṃ raudrāṃ yamajihvāmivāparām
ثم وجّه نحو شَكرا ورمى صولجاناً عظيماً ثقيلاً—كلّه من حديد، رهيباً عاتياً، كأنه «لسان يَما» آخر، سلاحٌ مُهلكٌ للموت.
