Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 45
पातालस्य तलं निन्ये तत्र शिश्ये स काष्ठवत् । ततश्चक्रेण दैत्यानां निहता दशकोट्यः
pātālasya talaṃ ninye tatra śiśye sa kāṣṭhavat | tataścakreṇa daityānāṃ nihatā daśakoṭyaḥ
ତାକୁ ପାତାଳର ତଳଭାଗକୁ ନିକ୍ଷେପ କରାଗଲା; ସେଠାରେ ସେ କାଠ ପରି ନିଷ୍କ୍ରିୟ ହୋଇ ପଡ଼ିରହିଲା। ପରେ ଚକ୍ରଦ୍ୱାରା ଦୈତ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କ ଦଶ କୋଟି ନିହତ ହେଲେ।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Scene: A daitya is flung down into the depths of Pātāla, lying inert like a log; above, Sudarśana-cakra blazes, cutting down vast ranks of Dānavas in a single sweeping arc.
