Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 35
पुष्पोत्कटायास्ते पुत्राः कन्या कुम्भीनसी तथा । त्रिशिरा दूषणश्चैव विद्युज्जिह्वश्च राक्षसः । कन्यैका श्यामिका नाम वीकायाः प्रसवः स्मृतः
puṣpotkaṭāyāste putrāḥ kanyā kumbhīnasī tathā | triśirā dūṣaṇaścaiva vidyujjihvaśca rākṣasaḥ | kanyaikā śyāmikā nāma vīkāyāḥ prasavaḥ smṛtaḥ
Dies waren die Söhne der Puṣpotkaṭā; und auch die Tochter Kumbhīnasī. (Es gab) Triśiras, Dūṣaṇa und den Rākṣasa Vidyujjihva. Und eine Tochter namens Śyāmikā wird als Nachkommenschaft der Vīkā in Erinnerung bewahrt.

Scene: A scroll-like genealogical register unfurls: Puṣpotkaṭā’s sons and daughter Kumbhīnasī; the fierce trio Triśiras, Dūṣaṇa, Vidyujjihva; and Vīkā’s daughter Śyāmikā—each appearing as emblematic portraits around a central family-tree, set against a coastal Prabhāsa backdrop.
