Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 43
एकेन च भगो देवः पश्यंश्चक्रे विलोचनः । पूष्णो दंतावलीमन्यः पातयामास कोपितः
ekena ca bhago devaḥ paśyaṃścakre vilocanaḥ | pūṣṇo daṃtāvalīmanyaḥ pātayāmāsa kopitaḥ
Einer machte den Gott Bhaga blind, selbst während er hinsah. Ein anderer, erzürnt, schlug Pūṣans Zahnreihe nieder.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Scene: A fierce attacker strikes: Bhaga’s gaze is extinguished mid-look; Pūṣan reels as teeth scatter. Devas in jeweled crowns recoil; the sacrificial pavilion trembles.
