Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 122
सविषाश्च कृता नागा निर्विषाः पादकुट्टनैः । पर्वताः पर्वतैरेव निरुच्छ्वासा भृशं कृताः
saviṣāśca kṛtā nāgā nirviṣāḥ pādakuṭṭanaiḥ | parvatāḥ parvataireva nirucchvāsā bhṛśaṃ kṛtāḥ
Les Nāga furent rendus venimeux — ou dépouillés de leur venin — par les coups de piétinement. Et les montagnes, heurtées par d’autres montagnes, furent violemment étourdies, comme privées de souffle dans l’écrasement du combat.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages
Scene: Serpents writhe as their venom is altered by stamping feet; colossal mountains are hurled against mountains, shown as personified peaks gasping and stunned, the earth trembling under the impact.
