Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 98
अथ दृष्ट्वा परां वृद्धिं योगिनीनां स दानवः । संहारं तस्य चास्त्रस्य चकार भयसंकुलः
atha dṛṣṭvā parāṃ vṛddhiṃ yoginīnāṃ sa dānavaḥ | saṃhāraṃ tasya cāstrasya cakāra bhayasaṃkulaḥ
അപ്പോൾ യോഗിനിമാരുടെ അത്യദ്ഭുതമായ വർദ്ധന കണ്ട ആ ദാനവൻ ഭയാകുലനായി തന്റെ ആയുധം ഉപസംഹരിച്ചു।
