Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 37

Devanagari script

अनंतरं शांतभयं तदस्त्रं दैत्यास्त्रयोगेन च कालदण्डम् । शांतं तदालोक्य हरिः स्वमस्त्रं कोपेन कालानलतुल्यमूर्तिः

Transliteration

anaṃtaraṃ śāṃtabhayaṃ tadastraṃ daityāstrayogena ca kāladaṇḍam | śāṃtaṃ tadālokya hariḥ svamastraṃ kopena kālānalatulyamūrtiḥ

Translation

Peu après, cette arme—dont l’effroi fut apaisé—et même le Kāladaṇḍa furent calmés par l’emploi des traits des Daityas. Voyant cela pacifié, Hari, dont la forme dans la colère était semblable au feu de la fin des âges, saisit sa propre arme.
