Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 34
कोपस्फुरितदंष्ट्राग्रः करस्फोटेन नादयन् । सुरान्नघ्नंश्चराराजौ दुष्प्रेक्ष्यः सोऽथ दानवः
kopasphuritadaṃṣṭrāgraḥ karasphoṭena nādayan | surānnaghnaṃścarārājau duṣprekṣyaḥ so'tha dānavaḥ
Dengan hujung taring yang gementar kerana kemarahan, mengaum dengan tepukan tangannya, Danava itu—yang sukar dipandang—bergerak di medan perang, menumbangkan para dewa.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: A monstrous dānava with quivering fangs, eyes blazing, roars while clapping his hands; he prowls the field striking down devas, his form almost unbearable to look upon.
