Varaha Purana 201.41: Adhyaya 201, Shloka 41
The Battle between the Rākṣasas and Yama’s Attendant-Messengers
ज्वराज्ञया च ते सर्वे जीमूतघननिःस्वनाः ॥ बहूंस्ते राक्षसान्घोरान्दर्पोत्सिक्तान् सहस्रशः ॥
jvarājñayā ca te sarve jīmūtaghananiḥsvanāḥ || bahūṃs te rākṣasān ghorān darpotsiktān sahasraśaḥ ||
ज्वर ने कहा, तो सब ने मारा दौड़। बादल जैसी आवाज़ उनकी। हज़ारों राक्षस थे वहाँ, अपनी घमंड में बड़े। सब उनपे टूट पड़े।
