Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 66
व्यास उवाच । एकदा शृणु राजेंद्र यज्जातं दैत्यसंगरे । तत्सर्वं कथयाम्याशु यथावृत्तं हि तत्पुरा
vyāsa uvāca | ekadā śṛṇu rājeṃdra yajjātaṃ daityasaṃgare | tatsarvaṃ kathayāmyāśu yathāvṛttaṃ hi tatpurā
Vyāsa dit : Écoute, ô seigneur des rois, ce qui advint jadis dans le combat contre les daityas. Je vais vite tout te raconter, exactement comme cela se produisit autrefois.
Vyāsa
Listener: Yudhiṣṭhira
