Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 87
रक्षणे विनिवृत्ते च हत्वा चान्योन्यमाहवे । परस्परहतास्ताश्च निराक्रंदाः सुदुःखिताः
rakṣaṇe vinivṛtte ca hatvā cānyonyamāhave | parasparahatāstāśca nirākraṃdāḥ suduḥkhitāḥ
Ketika perlindungan dan tatanan telah lenyap, mereka akan saling membunuh dalam pertempuran. Terbunuh satu sama lain, mereka akan tergeletak tanpa ratap, diliputi duka yang amat berat.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Scene: A battlefield without victors: bodies lie still, no lamentation; broken chariots; a dim sun; crows and wind—silence heavier than sound.
