Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 23
जग्राह वामहस्तेन लीलया ग्रसनोऽरिहा । तेनैव मुद्गरेणाथ यमस्य महिषं रुषा
jagrāha vāmahastena līlayā grasano'rihā | tenaiva mudgareṇātha yamasya mahiṣaṃ ruṣā
Grasana, o destruidor de inimigos, apanhou-o brincando com a mão esquerda; e então, com aquele mesmo maço, golpeou com raiva o búfalo de Yama.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages
Scene: Grasana catches the blazing mallet with his left hand as if in sport, then swings it with fury onto Yama’s buffalo mount; the buffalo recoils, Yama’s posture jolts.
