Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 30
जघ्नतुस्तौ रणे दैत्यमेकैकं षष्टिभिः शरैः । निर्भिद्य ते महादैत्यं सपुंखा विविशुर्महीम्
jaghnatustau raṇe daityamekaikaṃ ṣaṣṭibhiḥ śaraiḥ | nirbhidya te mahādaityaṃ sapuṃkhā viviśurmahīm
Sa labanan, tinamaan ng dalawang iyon ang Daitya—bawat isa’y may animnapung palaso. Nang mabutas ang dakilang Daitya, ang mga palaso, buo pa ang balahibo, ay bumaon hanggang sa lupa.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Scene: The twin Aśvins loose synchronized volleys—each sixty arrows—into a towering Daitya; shafts pierce through and plunge into the ground, raising dust and sparks, the Daitya staggering under the impact.
