Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 61
सर्वे दैत्या आसनस्था पुनश्च ते देवगणाः सुधारसं दत्तं पीडिताश्च । तूष्णींभूता बलिमुख्या द्विजेंद्रा मनस्विनो ध्यानपरा बभूवुः
sarve daityā āsanasthā punaśca te devagaṇāḥ sudhārasaṃ dattaṃ pīḍitāśca | tūṣṇīṃbhūtā balimukhyā dvijeṃdrā manasvino dhyānaparā babhūvuḥ
すべてのダイティヤは座したままであったが、神々の群れには再び甘露の精髄が与えられ、ダイティヤは苦悶した。バリを先頭とする首領たちは沈黙し、ああ最勝のブラーフマナよ、剛毅なる者たちは思惟の瞑想に没入した。
