अथापश्यन्महासेनो रुद्रं यांतं च तारकम् । तारकं चान्वधावन्तं पुरामपुरुषं हरिम्
athāpaśyanmahāseno rudraṃ yāṃtaṃ ca tārakam | tārakaṃ cānvadhāvantaṃ purāmapuruṣaṃ harim
Da sah Mahāsena Rudra heranziehen und auch Tāraka; und er sah Hari — den uranfänglichen Purusha — wie er Tāraka verfolgte.
Narrator (Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa, per Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narration convention)
Scene: Mahāsena (Skanda) beholds a dramatic chase: Rudra advancing with fierce radiance, Tāraka fleeing, and Hari—ancient, luminous—pursuing the asura. The sky is streaked with motion, weapons and divine auras crossing.
The Purāṇas portray a unified divine purpose—Śiva, Viṣṇu, and Skanda act together to remove demonic oppression.
