Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 155
ततो जंभं हतं दृष्ट्वा दानवेन्द्राः पराङ्मुखाः । सर्वे ते भग्नसंकल्पा दुद्रुवुस्तारकं प्रति
tato jaṃbhaṃ hataṃ dṛṣṭvā dānavendrāḥ parāṅmukhāḥ | sarve te bhagnasaṃkalpā dudruvustārakaṃ prati
Entonces, al ver a Jambha muerto, los señores de los Dānavas se volvieron de espaldas; roto su propósito, todos huyeron hacia Tāraka.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages (deduced)
Scene: Asura lords recoil and turn their chariots away, banners drooping; dust rises as they flee in disorder toward the distant figure/fortress of Tāraka, while devas regroup behind Indra.
