Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 13
जंभं द्वादशभिस्तीक्ष्णैः सर्वांश्चैकैक शोऽष्टभिः । तस्य तल्लाघवं दृष्ट्वा दानवाः क्रोधमूर्छिताः
jaṃbhaṃ dvādaśabhistīkṣṇaiḥ sarvāṃścaikaika śo'ṣṭabhiḥ | tasya tallāghavaṃ dṛṣṭvā dānavāḥ krodhamūrchitāḥ
Ia menghantam Jambha dengan dua belas anak panah tajam, dan masing-masing yang lain dengan delapan; melihat kelincahan dan kemahirannya, para Dānava terpana dalam amarah.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced)
Scene: Mādhava’s arrows strike Jambha with twelve sharp shafts; other daityas each receive eight; the daitya ranks, witnessing his lāghava, flare with rage—faces contorted, weapons raised.
