Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 48
ततः समभवद्युद्धं देवानां सह दानवैः । मिथः प्रभर्त्स्यमानानां मृत्युं कृत्वा निवर्तनम्
tataḥ samabhavadyuddhaṃ devānāṃ saha dānavaiḥ | mithaḥ prabhartsyamānānāṃ mṛtyuṃ kṛtvā nivartanam
त्यानंतर देव व दानव यांच्यात युद्ध झाले; परस्परांवर प्रहार करणाऱ्यांचे निवर्तन म्हणजे मृत्यूलाच शेवट मानूनच होई।
