Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 66
विष्णुं विव्याध हृदये रोषाद्रक्तविलोचनः । तस्याशोभंत ते बाणा हृदये तप्तकांचनाः
viṣṇuṃ vivyādha hṛdaye roṣādraktavilocanaḥ | tasyāśobhaṃta te bāṇā hṛdaye taptakāṃcanāḥ
Pulang-pula ang mga mata sa galit, tinusok niya si Viṣṇu sa puso. Ang mga palasong iyon ay kumislap sa dibdib niya na parang gintong pinainit sa apoy.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced from Māheśvara-khaṇḍa context)
Scene: A fierce asura, eyes reddened by rage, drives an arrow into Viṣṇu’s chest; the embedded shafts gleam like heated gold against Viṣṇu’s dark-blue body, creating a striking contrast of pain and splendor.
