Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 82
ततः कोट्यो विनिष्पेतुः शक्तीनां भर्तर्षभ । स शक्त्यस्त्रेण बलवान्करस्थेनाहनत्प्रभुः
tataḥ koṭyo viniṣpetuḥ śaktīnāṃ bhartarṣabha | sa śaktyastreṇa balavānkarasthenāhanatprabhuḥ
Lalu berhamburanlah krore-krore tombak Śakti, wahai yang laksana banteng di antara para penguasa; dan Sang Tuhan yang perkasa itu menghantam dengan senjata-Śakti yang digenggam di tangan-Nya.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages
Scene: From Skanda’s single Śakti in hand, crores of spears burst outward like rays from a sun, filling the sky in ordered, lethal geometry; the Lord strikes decisively.
