Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 87
भक्ष्यन्ते दानवाः केचिद्वध्यन्ते त्वथ चापरे । अर्धभक्षित गात्राश्च प्रणश्यंति तथा परे
bhakṣyante dānavāḥ kecidvadhyante tvatha cāpare | ardhabhakṣita gātrāśca praṇaśyaṃti tathā pare
કેટલાક દાનવો ભક્ષાઈ રહ્યા હતા, અને કેટલાક અન્ય વધાઈ રહ્યા હતા। કેટલાકના અંગો અર્ધભક્ષિત હતા; તેઓ પણ એ રીતે જ નાશ પામતા હતા।
Sūta (continuing narration)
Scene: A chaotic battlefield where some daityas are being devoured, others slain; fallen bodies and half-eaten limbs convey the terror and totality of defeat, with survivors fleeing into darkness.
