Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 11
अदृश्यभूतास्तमसि न्यकृंतंत परस्परम् । ततो भुजैर्ध्वजैश्छत्रैः शिरोभिश्च सकुंडलैः
adṛśyabhūtāstamasi nyakṛṃtaṃta parasparam | tato bhujairdhvajaiśchatraiḥ śirobhiśca sakuṃḍalaiḥ
Dalam kegelapan, mereka seakan tidak kelihatan lalu saling menetak; kemudian medan perang berselerak dengan lengan, panji-panji, payung kebesaran, dan kepala yang masih beranting-anting.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages
Scene: In near-darkness, unseen fighters strike; the aftermath shows a ground strewn with severed arms, fallen standards, toppled parasols, and heads still adorned with earrings—royal splendor turned into ruin.
