Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 83
स भोजैः सह संयुक्तः सात्यकिश्चांधकैः सह । बहुत्वात्तु हतौ वीरावुभौ कृष्णस्य पश्यतः
sa bhojaiḥ saha saṃyuktaḥ sātyakiścāṃdhakaiḥ saha | bahutvāttu hatau vīrāvubhau kṛṣṇasya paśyataḥ
Sātyaki, locked in combat with the Bhojas and also with the Andhakas, was overwhelmed by their numbers; thus both heroes were slain as Kṛṣṇa looked on.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa/ Ugraśravas), narrating
Tirtha: Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Scene: After fierce combat, Sātyaki and Rukmiṇī’s son lie fallen amid a sea of foes; Kṛṣṇa stands apart, witnessing with grave stillness; the shore and sacred skyline of Prabhāsa frame the tragedy.
