Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 36
तथा त्वमसि वाक्पाशाच्छिवभक्तिसमन्वितः । भूतले तिष्ठ दैत्येंद्र मा वाग्वैकल्प्यमाप्नुहि
tathā tvamasi vākpāśācchivabhaktisamanvitaḥ | bhūtale tiṣṭha daityeṃdra mā vāgvaikalpyamāpnuhi
Ainsi toi aussi, tu es lié par le lasso de ta parole et comblé de dévotion envers Śiva. Demeure sur la terre, ô seigneur des Daityas ; ne tombe pas dans l’hésitation ni dans la contradiction du discours.
Brahmā (admonition; inferred)
Scene: A triad of deities (Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Hara) admonish the daitya-king: remain on earth, do not let speech waver; the ‘noose of word’ is shown as a subtle luminous cord around the asura’s chest/throat.
