Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 44
कुक्षिं विदार्य चक्रेण भास्करोऽभादिवोदितः । बहिर्भूतो हरिश्चैनं महोयित्वा स्वनिन्दया
kukṣiṃ vidārya cakreṇa bhāskaro'bhādivoditaḥ | bahirbhūto hariścainaṃ mahoyitvā svanindayā
Fendant le ventre avec son disque, Hari resplendit comme le Soleil levant. En sortant, il l'accabla par sa propre disgrâce.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Scene: With a flash of Sudarśana, the demon’s belly is split; from within, Hari bursts forth blazing like the newborn Sun at dawn, his aura overwhelming the foe who collapses under the weight of his own shame.
