Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 74
ततश्च ते देववरान्प्रकोपिता दैत्याश्च मायाप्रवि मोहिताः पुनः । अनेकशस्त्रास्त्रयुतास्तदाऽभवन्विष्णौ गते गर्जमानास्तदानीम्
tataśca te devavarānprakopitā daityāśca māyāpravi mohitāḥ punaḥ | anekaśastrāstrayutāstadā'bhavanviṣṇau gate garjamānāstadānīm
Alors ces Daityas—irrités contre les plus éminents des Devas et de nouveau égarés, l’esprit saisi par la māyā—se munirent de maintes armes et astra; et lorsque Viṣṇu se fut retiré, ils poussèrent un rugissement retentissant en cet instant même.
