Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 11
ततश्चिक्षेप संक्रुद्धस्तस्य वज्रं शतक्रतुः । सोऽपि तल्लीलया धृत्वा जगृहे सव्यपाणिना
tataścikṣepa saṃkruddhastasya vajraṃ śatakratuḥ | so'pi tallīlayā dhṛtvā jagṛhe savyapāṇinā
তেতিয়া শতিক্ৰতু (ইন্দ্ৰ) ক্ৰুদ্ধ হৈ তাৰ ওপৰত নিজৰ বজ্ৰ নিক্ষেপ কৰিলে। কিন্তু সি খেলাৰ দৰে সহজে ধৰি বাঁও হাতৰে তাক আঁকোৱালি ল’লে।
