Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 34
कोपस्फुरितदंष्ट्राग्रः करस्फोटेन नादयन् । सुरान्नघ्नंश्चराराजौ दुष्प्रेक्ष्यः सोऽथ दानवः
kopasphuritadaṃṣṭrāgraḥ karasphoṭena nādayan | surānnaghnaṃścarārājau duṣprekṣyaḥ so'tha dānavaḥ
Mit vor Wut zitternden Fangzahnspitzen, brüllend unter dem Klatschen seiner Hände, bewegte sich jener Danava – schwer anzublicken – über das Schlachtfeld und streckte die Götter nieder.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: A monstrous dānava with quivering fangs, eyes blazing, roars while clapping his hands; he prowls the field striking down devas, his form almost unbearable to look upon.
