Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 64
स्कंधे निधाय दैत्यस्य मुखं विश्रांतिमैच्छत । तमा लक्ष्य ततो दैत्यः श्रांतमुत्पाट्य चौजसा
skaṃdhe nidhāya daityasya mukhaṃ viśrāṃtimaicchata | tamā lakṣya tato daityaḥ śrāṃtamutpāṭya caujasā
Yama meletakkan wajah sang daitya di atas bahunya dan menghendaki sejenak rehat. Melihatnya demikian, daitya itu dengan tenaga besar menyergap Yama yang letih lalu mencabik dan menghempaskannya.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages (deduced)
Scene: A colossal daitya grips the weary Yama, whose head/face rests on his shoulder for a moment; the demon notices and violently wrenches him upward, beginning a brutal assault as devas look on in alarm.
