Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 7
आजग्मुः समरे क्रुद्धा विष्णुमक्लिष्टकारिणम् । परघेण निमिर्दैत्यो मथनो मुद्गरेण च
ājagmuḥ samare kruddhā viṣṇumakliṣṭakāriṇam | paragheṇa nimirdaityo mathano mudgareṇa ca
Sa labanan, nagngangalit silang sumugod kay Viṣṇu, ang di-napapagod na tagaganap ng mga gawa. Si Daitya Nimi ay umatake gamit ang pamalong bakal, at si Mathana naman ay may malaking maso (gada).
Nārada (continuing context from 20.1)
Scene: A dense battlefield: Daityas surge toward Viṣṇu; Nimi swings a heavy iron club while Mathana raises a mace; dust, banners, and chariots churn around the unwearied Nārāyaṇa standing firm.
