Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 87
रक्षणे विनिवृत्ते च हत्वा चान्योन्यमाहवे । परस्परहतास्ताश्च निराक्रंदाः सुदुःखिताः
rakṣaṇe vinivṛtte ca hatvā cānyonyamāhave | parasparahatāstāśca nirākraṃdāḥ suduḥkhitāḥ
जेव्हा रक्षण व व्यवस्था निवृत्त होईल, तेव्हा ते रणात एकमेकांना ठार करतील. परस्परहत होऊन ते अतिदुःखी, कोणताही आक्रोश न करता पडून राहतील.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Scene: A battlefield without victors: bodies lie still, no lamentation; broken chariots; a dim sun; crows and wind—silence heavier than sound.
