Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 9
समागतं च तत्सव विना दैत्यैर्दुरात्मभिः । स्थावरं जंगमं यच्च विश्वं विष्णुपुरोगमम्
samāgataṃ ca tatsava vinā daityairdurātmabhiḥ | sthāvaraṃ jaṃgamaṃ yacca viśvaṃ viṣṇupurogamam
ఆ సమస్త సమూహం కూడి వచ్చింది—దురాత్ములైన దానవులను తప్ప. విశ్వంలో స్థావరమైయున్నదీ జంగమమైయున్నదీ అన్నీ విష్ణువును ముందుంచి వచ్చాయి.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative style
Scene: A vast procession of all beings—trees, mountains personified, animals, humans, sages, devas—moving toward the wedding; Viṣṇu at the front; Dānavas absent in shadowed margins.
