Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 113
निरृतिर्निशितं खड्गं रुद्राः शूलानि कोपिताः । धनूंषि साध्या देवाश्च परिघान्वसवस्तथा
nirṛtirniśitaṃ khaḍgaṃ rudrāḥ śūlāni kopitāḥ | dhanūṃṣi sādhyā devāśca parighānvasavastathā
ニルリティは鋭き剣を執り、憤れるルドラたちは三叉戟を握った。サーディヤら諸天は弓を取り、ヴァスたちもまた鉄の棍（パリガ）を掲げる—それぞれの神が、押し寄せる戦の奔流に備えて武装した。
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages
Scene: Nirṛti brandishes a sharp sword; the Rudras, enraged, lift tridents; Sādhyas and gods string bows; Vasus raise heavy iron clubs—an expanding ring of armed divinities.
