Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 47
विष्णुश्चापि महाघोषं शंखनादं चकार सः । तच्छ्रुत्वा ये गता देवा रणं हित्वाऽययुः पुनः
viṣṇuścāpi mahāghoṣaṃ śaṃkhanādaṃ cakāra saḥ | tacchrutvā ye gatā devā raṇaṃ hitvā'yayuḥ punaḥ
Auch Viṣṇu erhob großen Lärm und ließ sein Muschelhorn erschallen. Als die geflohenen Götter es hörten, kehrten sie wieder zurück und gaben den Rückzug vom Schlachtfeld auf.
