Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 75
द्वाभ्यां धनुर्ज्याधनुषी भुजं चैकेन पत्रिणा । स विद्धो हृदये गाढं दोषैर्मूढो यथा नरः
dvābhyāṃ dhanurjyādhanuṣī bhujaṃ caikena patriṇā | sa viddho hṛdaye gāḍhaṃ doṣairmūḍho yathā naraḥ
Dengan dua anak panah dia mematahkan busur dan talinya; dengan satu panah dia menembus lengannya. Terluka parah di hati, dia menjadi bingung—seperti manusia yang tersesat oleh kesalahannya sendiri.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: Keśava disables the demon’s weaponry—bow and string—then pierces the arm; the demon’s face shows sudden confusion, visually echoing the moral simile of doṣa-born delusion.
