Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 1

Devanagari script

लोमश उवाच । ततो युद्धमतीवासीदसुरैर्विष्णुना सह । ततः सिंहाः सपक्षास्ते दंशिताः परमाद्भुताः

Transliteration

lomaśa uvāca | tato yuddhamatīvāsīdasurairviṣṇunā saha | tataḥ siṃhāḥ sapakṣāste daṃśitāḥ paramādbhutāḥ

Translation

లోమశుడు పలికెను—అప్పుడు అసురులతో విష్ణువుకు మధ్య అత్యంత ఘోర యుద్ధం చెలరేగింది. అనంతరం పరమాద్భుతమైన సింహాలు ప్రత్యక్షమయ్యాయి—పక్షాలతో కూడినవి, దంష్ట్రాలతో సన్నద్ధమైనవి।
