Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 31
ततः कलियुगं प्रोक्तं चतुर्थं च सुदारुणम् । एकपादो वृषो यत्र पापं पादैस्त्रिभिः स्थितम्
tataḥ kaliyugaṃ proktaṃ caturthaṃ ca sudāruṇam | ekapādo vṛṣo yatra pāpaṃ pādaistribhiḥ sthitam
यानंतर चौथे, अत्यंत दारुण असे कलियुग सांगितले आहे; जिथे धर्मरूपी वृषभ एक पायावर उभा राहतो आणि पाप तीन पायांवर प्रतिष्ठित असते।
Skanda (deduced from Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narrative style)
Scene: Personified Dharma as a bull standing on one leg, trembling; beside it, a three-legged dark figure of Pāpa/Kali stands firm; the sky shows the turning of ages.
