Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 60
योधयामास बाहुभ्यामाकृष्य बलिनां वरः । यमोऽपि शस्त्राण्युत्सृज्च बाहुयुद्धे प्रवर्तते
yodhayāmāsa bāhubhyāmākṛṣya balināṃ varaḥ | yamo'pi śastrāṇyutsṛjca bāhuyuddhe pravartate
Ang pinakamatibay sa mga malalakas ay sumunggab sa kanya sa pamamagitan ng dalawang bisig, hinihila siyang palapit upang makipagbuno. Si Yama man ay isinantabi ang mga sandata at pumasok sa labang kamay-sa-kamay.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced: Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: Grasana drags Yama close with powerful arms; Yama deliberately casts aside weapons and squares up for wrestling—two titanic figures locked chest-to-chest beside the chariot.
FAQs
Dharma is not merely threat or weapon—its power stands even without instruments; Yama’s authority is intrinsic.
