Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 49
निरुत्साहं रणे तस्मिन्गतयुद्धोत्सवोऽभवत् । ततो भ्रमत एवास्य चर्म उत्कृत्त्य भैरवम्
nirutsāhaṃ raṇe tasmingatayuddhotsavo'bhavat | tato bhramata evāsya carma utkṛttya bhairavam

Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages
Scene: The demon’s will breaks; still spinning, he is flayed—Bhairava’s blade flashes, separating the elephant-hide in a single decisive motion; the moment is both horrific and numinous, revealing divine inevitability.
