Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 14
चिच्छेद लीलया तांश्च दैत्यः क्रोधीव सद्वचः । निष्फलांस्तांस्ततो दृष्ट्वा बाणान्क्रुद्धो धनाधिपः
ciccheda līlayā tāṃśca daityaḥ krodhīva sadvacaḥ | niṣphalāṃstāṃstato dṛṣṭvā bāṇānkruddho dhanādhipaḥ
Daitya yang berang memotong anak-anak panah itu dengan mudah—seperti orang marah menepis nasihat baik dengan kata-kata kasar. Melihat panahnya menjadi sia-sia, Penguasa Kekayaan (Kubera) pun murka.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa style)
Scene: Kujaṃbha slices Kubera’s incoming arrows mid-air with casual mastery; the broken shafts scatter like splinters. Kubera’s face tightens, eyes redden, anger rising as he sees his attack fail.
