Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 31
त्रैलोक्यं सकलं देव पीडयन्ति महासुराः । दण्डपाशासिशस्त्राणि अविकारे विकुर्वते । त्रिपुरं दानवैर्जुष्टं भ्रमत्तच्चक्रसंनिभम्
trailokyaṃ sakalaṃ deva pīḍayanti mahāsurāḥ | daṇḍapāśāsiśastrāṇi avikāre vikurvate | tripuraṃ dānavairjuṣṭaṃ bhramattaccakrasaṃnibham
ឱ ព្រះទេវៈ! អសុរៈដ៏មហិមាទាំងនោះបង្កទុក្ខដល់ត្រៃលោកទាំងមូល។ ដោយដំបង ខ្សែចង ដាវ និងអាវុធនានា ពួកគេបង្កវិនាសដោយគ្មានការរឹតត្បិត។ ត្រីបុរៈដែលពោរពេញដោយដានវៈ លំហែរទៅដូចកង់កំពុងវិល។
