Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 39
एकैकं च पुनः खण्डं चकार मघवा ततः । सप्तधा सप्तधा कोपादुद्बुध्य च ततो दितिः
ekaikaṃ ca punaḥ khaṇḍaṃ cakāra maghavā tataḥ | saptadhā saptadhā kopādudbudhya ca tato ditiḥ
Kemudian Maghavā membelah lagi setiap kepingan itu—menjadi tujuh, dan tujuh lagi. Maka Diti pun terjaga dengan kemarahan.
