Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 65
ततो देवी गणान्स्वस्य भूतवेतालकादिकान् । यूयं नाशयत क्षिप्रमासुरं बलमित्यशात्
tato devī gaṇānsvasya bhūtavetālakādikān | yūyaṃ nāśayata kṣipramāsuraṃ balamityaśāt
Darauf befahl die Devī ihren eigenen Scharen—Bhūtas, Vetālas und den übrigen—: „Ihr alle, vernichtet sogleich das Heer der Asuras!“
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narrator; likely Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa in third-person narration)

Type: kshetra
Scene: Devī, poised and authoritative, gestures commandingly; around her surge bhūtas and vetālas—wild-haired, weapon-bearing, some skeletal, some animal-faced—rushing toward the asura army; the scene balances terror and divine justice.
