Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 9
व्यात्ताननं महाकायं भीमदंष्ट्रं भयानकम् । तमायांतमभिप्रेक्ष्य योगीशो न चचाल सः
vyāttānanaṃ mahākāyaṃ bhīmadaṃṣṭraṃ bhayānakam | tamāyāṃtamabhiprekṣya yogīśo na cacāla saḥ
Dengan mulut menganga, tubuh raksasa, taring mengerikan dan menakutkan—melihatnya menerjang, sang yogin agung tidak bergerak sedikit pun.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narrator; specific speaker not stated in this excerpt)
