Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 45
क्रोधो हि मम बंधुश्च महाबलपरक्रमः । उभाभ्यां द्रावितं विश्वं जंगमाजंगमं महत् । ब्रह्मादिस्तंबपर्यंतं प्लावितं सचराचरम्
krodho hi mama baṃdhuśca mahābalaparakramaḥ | ubhābhyāṃ drāvitaṃ viśvaṃ jaṃgamājaṃgamaṃ mahat | brahmādistaṃbaparyaṃtaṃ plāvitaṃ sacarācaram
क्रोध हा माझा बंधूच आहे, महाबलवान व पराक्रमी। आम्हा दोघांमुळे हे विशाल जग—चराचर—उद्विग्न झाले; ब्रह्मादि ते तृणापर्यंत सर्व सचराचर विश्व प्लावित झाले।
