Yajña-bhāga-vyavasthā and the Pravṛtti–Nivṛtti Framework (यज्ञभागव्यवस्था तथा प्रवृत्तिनिवृत्तिधर्मविवेचनम्)
कम्पयामास सब्येन पाणिना पुरुषोत्तम: । तब उस आक्षेपको सहन न करके विशुद्धात्मा भगवान् विष्णुने अग्निकुमार स्कन्दकी ओर देखा। फिर उन पुरुषोत्तमने उस समय उस प्रज्वलित शक्तिको बायें हाथसे पकड़कर हिला दिया
kampayāmāsa savyena pāṇinā puruṣottamaḥ | tadā tam ākṣepaṁ soḍhuṁ na śaśāka viśuddhātmā bhagavān viṣṇuḥ skandam agnikumāraṁ prati dadarśa | tataḥ sa puruṣottamas tasmin kāle prajvalitāṁ śaktiṁ vāma-hastena gṛhītvā cālayāmāsa |

Then, at that moment, the Supreme Lord grasped the blazing spear with his left hand and cast it away with a shake—revealing unshakable mastery and restraint in the face of aggression.
