Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 61
ग्रसनं कटिवस्त्रे तु यमं गृह्य बलोत्कटः । भ्रामयामास वेगेन संभ्रमाविष्टचेतसम्
grasanaṃ kaṭivastre tu yamaṃ gṛhya balotkaṭaḥ | bhrāmayāmāsa vegena saṃbhramāviṣṭacetasam
Darauf packte Grasana, vom Machtrausch ergriffen, Yama am Hüfttuch und wirbelte ihn mit Wucht und Tempo herum, sodass sein Geist in Aufruhr geriet.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced: Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: Grasana grips Yama’s kati-vastra and spins him violently; Yama’s crown tilts, garlands flare outward, horses and chariot blur with circular motion lines; Yama’s face shows momentary disorientation.
