Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 104
ब्रह्मोवाच । निहतः स त्वया शक्र तेन वज्रेण दानवः । गतो मृत्युवशं पापो न भयं कर्तुमर्हसि
brahmovāca | nihataḥ sa tvayā śakra tena vajreṇa dānavaḥ | gato mṛtyuvaśaṃ pāpo na bhayaṃ kartumarhasi
Brahmā berkata: “Benar, wahai Śakra, raksasa itu telah dibunuh olehmu dengan vajra itu. Si pendosa telah jatuh di bawah kuasa Maut; engkau tidak perlu takut.”
Brahmā
Listener: Indra (Śakra)
Scene: Brahmā speaks calmly to Indra: the demon is slain and under Death’s sway; Indra is told not to fear, while the devas remain solemn, hinting at a deeper issue.
