Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 33
तदस्त्रं सहसा दृष्ट्वा जंभो भीमपराक्रमः । संवर्तं मुमुचे तेन प्रशांतं गारुडं तदा
tadastraṃ sahasā dṛṣṭvā jaṃbho bhīmaparākramaḥ | saṃvartaṃ mumuce tena praśāṃtaṃ gāruḍaṃ tadā
Als Jambha von furchtbarer Kraft jene Waffe plötzlich sah, ließ er die Gegenwaffe Saṃvarta los; durch sie wurde die Gāruḍa-Waffe sogleich besänftigt.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: Jambha, formidable and grim, witnesses the flame-filling weapon and instantly releases Saṃvarta; the raging sky-fire subsides as the counter-force spreads like a dark, cooling veil, quelling the prior weapon’s effect.
