Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 87
अहं हि सर्वदाग्रस्थं नरं पश्यामि संयुगे । निघ्नंतं शात्रवांस्तत्र न जाने कोऽप्यसाविति
ahaṃ hi sarvadāgrasthaṃ naraṃ paśyāmi saṃyuge | nighnaṃtaṃ śātravāṃstatra na jāne ko'pyasāviti
«Car, dans la bataille, je vois toujours un Homme à l’avant-garde, frappant et abattant les ennemis là-bas ; pourtant je ne sais qui il est.»
Arjuna (continuing)
Scene: A warrior (Arjuna implied) scans the battlefield, sensing an unknown champion at the vanguard cutting down foes; the figure is half-seen, luminous, and indistinct—more presence than person.
