Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 12
संकर्षणश्च शुशुभे चंद्रादित्यौ घनैरिव । गृहीत्वा धनुषी दिव्ये शीघ्रं संयोज्य चाशुगान्
saṃkarṣaṇaśca śuśubhe caṃdrādityau ghanairiva | gṛhītvā dhanuṣī divye śīghraṃ saṃyojya cāśugān
संकर्षण मेघांतून प्रकटलेल्या चंद्र-सूर्यासारखे शोभून दिसले. त्यांनी दिव्य धनुष्ये हातात घेऊन शीघ्र बाण जोडून सज्ज केले.
