Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 12
मथनं दशभिश्चैव शुम्भं पंचभिरेव च । शतेन महिषं क्रुद्धो विव्याधोरसि माधवः
mathanaṃ daśabhiścaiva śumbhaṃ paṃcabhireva ca | śatena mahiṣaṃ kruddho vivyādhorasi mādhavaḥ
Si Mādhava, sa tindi ng poot, ay tumama kay Mathana ng sampung palaso, kay Śumbha ng lima, at tinuhog si Mahiṣa sa dibdib ng sandaang palaso.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced)
Scene: Mādhava in a chariot-like stance (or on Garuḍa nearby), loosing rapid volleys: ten arrows at Mathana, five at Śumbha, and a hundred piercing Mahiṣa’s chest; daityas recoil amid dust and flashing weapons.
