Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 10
अथाभिद्रुत्य तरसा स घोरो वनगोचरः । दोर्भ्यां निष्पीड्य जग्राह निष्कंपं शिवयोगिनम्
athābhidrutya tarasā sa ghoro vanagocaraḥ | dorbhyāṃ niṣpīḍya jagrāha niṣkaṃpaṃ śivayoginam
Entonces aquel terrible habitante del bosque se lanzó con ímpetu; y, apresando al Śiva-yogui inmóvil, lo oprimió con fuerza entre sus dos brazos.
