Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 27
अथ दैत्यः समुत्तस्थौ भृशं बद्धोपि भूतले । दृष्ट्वोत्थितं ततो दैत्यं पातयंतं सुरोत्तमान्
atha daityaḥ samuttasthau bhṛśaṃ baddhopi bhūtale | dṛṣṭvotthitaṃ tato daityaṃ pātayaṃtaṃ surottamān
मग तो दैत्य भूमीवर घट्ट बांधलेला असूनही जोराने उठून उभा राहिला. उठलेला तो दैत्य देवश्रेष्ठांना पाडीत आहे असे पाहून (सर्व थक्क झाले)।
