Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 101
योजनं वायुजवाद्गच्छन्नधो नांतमपश्यत । ततो भीमो विनिःसृत्य भग्नवीर्योऽभ्यभाषत
yojanaṃ vāyujavādgacchannadho nāṃtamapaśyata | tato bhīmo viniḥsṛtya bhagnavīryo'bhyabhāṣata
ବାୟୁବେଗରେ ଏକ ଯୋଜନ ତଳକୁ ଯାଇଥିଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସେ ଶେଷ ଦେଖିଲା ନାହିଁ। ତାପରେ ଭୀମ ବାହାରି ଆସିଲା; ତାହାର ବଳଗର୍ବ ଭଙ୍ଗ ହୋଇଥିଲା, ଏବଂ ସେ କହିଲା।
