Pitṛgaṇa-Vibhāga (Classification of the Pitṛs) and the Śrāddha–Soma Nourishment Cycle
तेन जातेन महाता देवानामसहिष्णवः / स्कन्दिता दानवगणास्तस्मात्स्कन्दः प्रतापवान्
tena jātena mahātā devānāmasahiṣṇavaḥ / skanditā dānavagaṇāstasmātskandaḥ pratāpavān
By the birth of that Great One, the hosts of Dānavas—unable to endure the Devas—were driven back and scattered; hence he is famed as Skanda, mighty in splendor.
