Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 11
अदृश्यभूतास्तमसि न्यकृंतंत परस्परम् । ततो भुजैर्ध्वजैश्छत्रैः शिरोभिश्च सकुंडलैः
adṛśyabhūtāstamasi nyakṛṃtaṃta parasparam | tato bhujairdhvajaiśchatraiḥ śirobhiśca sakuṃḍalaiḥ
Devenus invisibles dans l’obscurité, ils se taillèrent en pièces les uns les autres ; puis le champ fut jonché de bras, d’étendards, d’ombrelles et de têtes portant encore des boucles d’oreilles.
