Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 75
सा तं विलोक्याखिलदेव देवं त्रिलोचनं चन्द्रकलावतंसम् । शशांकसूर्यानलकोटिभासं स्तब्धेव भीतेव तथैव तस्थौ
sā taṃ vilokyākhiladeva devaṃ trilocanaṃ candrakalāvataṃsam | śaśāṃkasūryānalakoṭibhāsaṃ stabdheva bhīteva tathaiva tasthau
Als sie Ihn erblickte—den Gott aller Götter, den Dreiäugigen, mit der Mondsichel gekrönt, strahlend wie Myriaden von Monden, Sonnen und Feuern—stand sie reglos da, wie betäubt und voller Furcht.
