Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 29
इन्द्र उवाच । अंधकेन हृतं राज्यं मम वीर्यात्सुरेश्वर । यज्ञभागैः समोपेतं हत्वाऽशु तत्प्रयच्छ मे
indra uvāca | aṃdhakena hṛtaṃ rājyaṃ mama vīryātsureśvara | yajñabhāgaiḥ samopetaṃ hatvā'śu tatprayaccha me
ইন্দ্র বললেন—“হে সুরেশ্বর! অন্ধক আমার রাজ্য বলপূর্বক হরণ করেছে। যে যজ্ঞভাগ দখল করেছে, তাকে শীঘ্র বধ করে সেই রাজ্য আমাকে ফিরিয়ে দিন।”
Indra (Śakra)
Scene: Indra, visibly agitated yet controlled, appeals to Śiva; imagery of a shadowy Andhaka usurping a throne and seizing sacrificial offerings can appear as a vignette behind Indra’s speech.
