Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 75
द्वाभ्यां धनुर्ज्याधनुषी भुजं चैकेन पत्रिणा । स विद्धो हृदये गाढं दोषैर्मूढो यथा नरः
dvābhyāṃ dhanurjyādhanuṣī bhujaṃ caikena patriṇā | sa viddho hṛdaye gāḍhaṃ doṣairmūḍho yathā naraḥ
Mit zwei Pfeilen traf er Bogen und Sehne; mit einem befiederten Pfeil durchbohrte er den Arm. Tief im Herzen verwundet, wurde er verwirrt—wie ein Mensch, den die eigenen Fehler verblenden.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: Keśava disables the demon’s weaponry—bow and string—then pierces the arm; the demon’s face shows sudden confusion, visually echoing the moral simile of doṣa-born delusion.
