Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 19
स तैराच्छादितो विष्णुः शुशुभे च समंततः । सम्यक्पुलकितांगश्च रक्ताचल इवापरः
sa tairācchādito viṣṇuḥ śuśubhe ca samaṃtataḥ | samyakpulakitāṃgaśca raktācala ivāparaḥ
แม้ถูกพวกนั้นปกคลุมล้อมรอบทุกด้าน พระวิษณุก็ยังส่องประกายรุ่งโรจน์; กายมีขนลุกด้วยวีรภาวะ ประหนึ่งภูผาแดงอีกลูกหนึ่ง
Skanda (deduced from Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narrative style)
Scene: Viṣṇu encircled by enemies or missiles yet shining; gooseflesh/heroic thrill indicated by subtle texture; his form glowing red-gold like a crimson mountain at sunset.
