Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 37

Devanagari script

अनंतरं शांतभयं तदस्त्रं दैत्यास्त्रयोगेन च कालदण्डम् । शांतं तदालोक्य हरिः स्वमस्त्रं कोपेन कालानलतुल्यमूर्तिः

Transliteration

anaṃtaraṃ śāṃtabhayaṃ tadastraṃ daityāstrayogena ca kāladaṇḍam | śāṃtaṃ tadālokya hariḥ svamastraṃ kopena kālānalatulyamūrtiḥ

Translation

Soon after, that weapon—its terror stilled—and even the Kāladaṇḍa were pacified by the deployment of Daitya missiles. Seeing it thus calmed, Hari, whose wrathful form was like the fire at the end of time, took up his own weapon.
