Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 31
तद्बलं दैत्यसिंहस्य भीमरूपं व्यदृश्यत । भूमिरेणुसमालिंगत्तुरंगरथपत्तिकम्
tadbalaṃ daityasiṃhasya bhīmarūpaṃ vyadṛśyata | bhūmireṇusamāliṃgatturaṃgarathapattikam
Kemudian bala tentera sang “singa di kalangan Daitya” itu tampak dalam rupa yang menggerunkan; bumi seolah-olah dipeluk oleh debu yang terhambur dari kuda, kereta perang, dan askar berjalan kaki.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages
Scene: A colossal daitya force in terrifying formation; the ground disappears under a rolling dust cloud kicked up by horses, chariots, and infantry—sky dimmed, silhouettes of banners and weapons emerging through haze.
