Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 15
घातितो दुष्टदैत्योऽसौ वेदार्थं कृत उद्यमः । एवमासीन्महाविष्णुः कथमश्वमुखोऽभवत्
ghātito duṣṭadaityo'sau vedārthaṃ kṛta udyamaḥ | evamāsīnmahāviṣṇuḥ kathamaśvamukho'bhavat
ព្រះអង្គបានសម្លាប់អសុរាដ៏អាក្រក់ ហើយខិតខំដើម្បីអត្ថន័យនៃវេទ។ ដូច្នេះហើយជាមហាវិស្ណុ—ហេតុអ្វីព្រះអង្គក្លាយជាមុខសេះ?
Skanda (continuing)
Scene: Mahāviṣṇu in heroic aspect slays a wicked daitya; nearby, radiant Vedic knowledge (scrolls or light) is protected or retrieved. The verse ends with the recurring wonder-question about the horse-faced form, blending heroism with mystery.
