Varaha Purana 116.6: Adhyaya 116, Shloka 6
An Exposition on the Causes of Happiness and Suffering
न ग्लानिर्न जरा तस्य न मोहॊ रॊग एव च ।। भुजाष्टादश जायन्ते धन्वी खड्गी शरि गदी
na glānir na jarā tasya na moho roga eva ca || bhujāṣṭādaśa jāyante dhanvī khaḍgī śarī gadī
Baginya tiada kelemahan, tiada usia tua, tiada kebingungan, dan tiada penyakit; delapan belas lengan pun muncul—ia menjadi pemanah, pendekar pedang, pembawa tombak, dan pemegang gada.
