Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 27
कदलीदलवद्वाताद्वेपते सरसातलम् । चूर्णीकरोमि दोर्दंडघाताच्चैतान्कुलाचलान्
kadalīdalavadvātādvepate sarasātalam | cūrṇīkaromi dordaṃḍaghātāccaitānkulācalān
Como hoja de plátano que tiembla al viento, la tierra—hasta Rasātala—se estremece. Con los golpes de mi brazo, cual maza, pulverizo estas montañas que marcan los confines.

Type: kshetra
Scene: The earth shakes like a banana leaf in wind; the tremor reaches Rasātala. The hero swings an arm-staff, smashing the boundary mountains into dust; cosmic layers shown in cross-section beneath the battlefield.
