Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 84
तं प्रेष्य गरुडो दूरं भक्षयित्वाथ भूरिशः । नभो विक्षोभयांचक्रे प्रलयानिल सन्निभः
taṃ preṣya garuḍo dūraṃ bhakṣayitvātha bhūriśaḥ | nabho vikṣobhayāṃcakre pralayānila sannibhaḥ
L’ayant projeté au loin puis dévoré, le puissant Garuḍa—pareil au vent du pralaya—bouleversa violemment le ciel lui-même.
Narrator (Skanda in Kāśī-khaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: Garuḍa hurls the man far away and devours him; the sky churns violently like the wind of dissolution.
