Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 61
ग्रसनं कटिवस्त्रे तु यमं गृह्य बलोत्कटः । भ्रामयामास वेगेन संभ्रमाविष्टचेतसम्
grasanaṃ kaṭivastre tu yamaṃ gṛhya balotkaṭaḥ | bhrāmayāmāsa vegena saṃbhramāviṣṭacetasam
Pagkaraan, si Grasana na lasing sa kapangyarihan ay sinunggaban si Yama sa bahaging tapis sa baywang at inikot siya nang buong lakas at bilis, kaya’t nalito at nayanig ang kanyang diwa.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced: Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: Grasana grips Yama’s kati-vastra and spins him violently; Yama’s crown tilts, garlands flare outward, horses and chariot blur with circular motion lines; Yama’s face shows momentary disorientation.
