Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 43
एकेन च भगो देवः पश्यंश्चक्रे विलोचनः । पूष्णो दंतावलीमन्यः पातयामास कोपितः
ekena ca bhago devaḥ paśyaṃścakre vilocanaḥ | pūṣṇo daṃtāvalīmanyaḥ pātayāmāsa kopitaḥ
May isang gumawa sa diyos na si Bhaga na mawalan ng paningin kahit siya’y nakatingin. May isa pa, sa poot, ang nagpabagsak sa hanay ng mga ngipin ni Pūṣan.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Scene: A fierce attacker strikes: Bhaga’s gaze is extinguished mid-look; Pūṣan reels as teeth scatter. Devas in jeweled crowns recoil; the sacrificial pavilion trembles.
