Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 90
तेन मुष्टिप्रहारेण मूर्च्छितो निपपात ह । ततस्तु सहसोत्थाय शक्तिं धृत्वा करे मुदा
tena muṣṭiprahāreṇa mūrcchito nipapāta ha | tatastu sahasotthāya śaktiṃ dhṛtvā kare mudā
Oleh tumbukan penumbuk itu dia pengsan lalu rebah; kemudian tiba-tiba bangkit, dengan gembira menggenggam śakti, yakni lembing, di tangannya.
