Varaha Purana 201.38: Adhyaya 201, Shloka 38
The Battle between the Rākṣasas and Yama’s Attendant-Messengers
ज्वरः क्रुद्धो महातेजा योधानां तु सहस्रशः ॥ कालो मुण्डः केकराक्षो लोहयष्टिपरिग्रहः ॥
jvaraḥ kruddho mahātejā yodhānāṃ tu sahasraśaḥ || kālo muṇḍaḥ kekarākṣo lohayaṣṭiparigrahaḥ ||
ज्वर गुस्से में आ गया। उसने हज़ारों योद्धा बुला लिए। उनमें से कुछ थे काल, मुंड, केकराक्ष, और लोहयष्टि। सब आग जैसी चमक रहे थे।
