Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 114
विश्वेदेवाश्च मुसलं चंद्रार्कौ स्वप्रभामपि । ओषधीश्चाश्विनौ देवौ नागाश्च ज्वलितं विषम्
viśvedevāśca musalaṃ caṃdrārkau svaprabhāmapi | oṣadhīścāśvinau devau nāgāśca jvalitaṃ viṣam
ヴィシュヴェーデーヴァたちは棍棒を執り、月と太陽は自らの光輝さえ捧げた。癒やしの霊薬草が集められ、アシュヴィン双神も加わり、ナーガたちは燃え立つ毒を携えて来た――それぞれが生得の力を神聖なる大業に捧げた。
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages
Scene: Viśvedevas lift mallets; Sun and Moon offer their own radiance; medicinal herbs assemble as living forces; the Aśvin twins arrive as healers; Nāgas present blazing venom—nature and divinity pooling their powers.
