Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 75
द्वाभ्यां धनुर्ज्याधनुषी भुजं चैकेन पत्रिणा । स विद्धो हृदये गाढं दोषैर्मूढो यथा नरः
dvābhyāṃ dhanurjyādhanuṣī bhujaṃ caikena patriṇā | sa viddho hṛdaye gāḍhaṃ doṣairmūḍho yathā naraḥ
Sa dalawang palaso, tinamaan niya ang busog at ang pisi nito; sa isang palasong may balahibo, tinuhog niya ang bisig. Sugatang malalim sa puso, siya’y nalito—gaya ng taong dinadaya ng sariling mga pagkukulang.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: Keśava disables the demon’s weaponry—bow and string—then pierces the arm; the demon’s face shows sudden confusion, visually echoing the moral simile of doṣa-born delusion.
