Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 81
नैतत्प्रियं च कृष्णस्य भ्रातुर्मे क्रोधमाचरम् । भवन्तो वासुदेवस्य यत्र प्राणा बहिश्चराः
naitatpriyaṃ ca kṛṣṇasya bhrāturme krodhamācaram | bhavanto vāsudevasya yatra prāṇā bahiścarāḥ
Peragaan murka ini tidaklah berkenan bagi saudaraku, Kṛṣṇa. Namun Aku tetap mengambil murka, sebab kalian semua bagaikan napas-hidup Vāsudeva—bergerak di luar sebagai perpanjangan hidup-Nya.
Ekānaṃśā (Yogamāyā), addressing the Pāṇḍavas with Bhīma in focus
Scene: The Goddess speaks with a softened face, acknowledging Kṛṣṇa as her brother; Bhīma and the others are shown as Kṛṣṇa’s ‘life-breaths’—perhaps with a subtle visual motif of shared aura linking them to Vāsudeva.
