Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 3
स्वर्णवर्णांचिते यद्वन्नगे दावाग्निसंवृते । आरुह्यजौ निमिर्दैत्यो हरिं प्रत्युद्ययौ बली
svarṇavarṇāṃcite yadvannage dāvāgnisaṃvṛte | āruhyajau nimirdaityo hariṃ pratyudyayau balī
Gaya ng bundok na nababalutan ng gubat na kumikislap sa gintong kulay at napaliligiran ng apoy sa gubat, ang makapangyarihang Daitya na si Nimi ay sumakay (sa kanyang sasakyan) at sumugod laban kay Hari.
Nārada (continuing context from 20.1)
Scene: Daitya Nimi, radiant like a golden mountain wrapped in wildfire, mounts his beast and rushes toward Hari; flames and heat shimmer form a halo-like yet destructive aura around him.
