Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 46
ततः कपालिनं त्यक्त्वा भवं चासुरपुंगवः । वेगेन कुपितो दैत्यो नव रुद्रानुपाद्रवत् । ममर्द चरणाघातैर्दन्तैश्चापि करेण च
tataḥ kapālinaṃ tyaktvā bhavaṃ cāsurapuṃgavaḥ | vegena kupito daityo nava rudrānupādravat | mamarda caraṇāghātairdantaiścāpi kareṇa ca
Daraufhin stürmte der Anführer der Asuras, Kapālī und Bhava zurücklassend, zornentbrannt und voller Eile auf die neun Rudras zu und zermalmte sie mit Fußtritten, mit seinen Hauern und auch mit seiner Hand.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages
Scene: The asura-chief abandons the two Rudras and, in furious speed, rushes the nine Rudras—trampling, goring with tusks, and striking with his hand; a whirlwind of brute force against divine multiplicity.
