Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 38
अन्धक उवाच । पितास्माकं हतो देवैः पितृव्यश्च महाबलः । कपटेन न शौर्येण तस्मात्तान्सूदयाम्यहम्
andhaka uvāca | pitāsmākaṃ hato devaiḥ pitṛvyaśca mahābalaḥ | kapaṭena na śauryeṇa tasmāttānsūdayāmyaham
ଅନ୍ଧକ କହିଲା—ଦେବମାନେ ଆମ ପିତାଙ୍କୁ ଏବଂ ଆମ ମହାବଳୀ ପିତୃବ୍ୟଙ୍କୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ହତ କରିଛନ୍ତି; ଶୌର୍ୟରେ ନୁହେଁ, କପଟରେ। ତେଣୁ ମୁଁ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ସଂହାର କରିବି।
