Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 15
हरोऽपि तान्गणान्भग्नान्दृष्ट्वा कोपाद्विनिर्ययौ । हरं दृष्ट्वा ततो दैत्या दुद्द्रुवुस्ते दिशो दश
haro'pi tāngaṇānbhagnāndṛṣṭvā kopādviniryayau | haraṃ dṛṣṭvā tato daityā duddruvuste diśo daśa
Hara (Śiva) aussi, voyant ses gaṇas brisés, sortit dans la colère; et, à la vue de Hara, les Daityas s’enfuirent, pris de panique, vers les dix directions.

Scene: Śiva, enraged at seeing his gaṇas broken, strides forth; instantly the Daityas, upon beholding him, scatter in panic to the ten directions—an awe-filled reversal of momentum.
