Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 24
न ममार यदा दैत्यो विष्णुना प्रभविष्णुना । तरसा तं केशवोऽपि पातयामास भूतले
na mamāra yadā daityo viṣṇunā prabhaviṣṇunā | tarasā taṃ keśavo'pi pātayāmāsa bhūtale
પરાક્રમી વિષ્ણુના સામર્થ્યથી પણ જ્યારે તે દૈત્ય ન મર્યો, ત્યારે કેશવે બળપૂર્વક તેને ધરતી પર પાડી દીધો।
