Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 171
स तानचिंत्य दैत्येंद्रो देवबाणक्षतान्हृदि । बाणैर्व्योम दिशः पृथ्वीं पूरयामास दानवः
sa tānaciṃtya daityeṃdro devabāṇakṣatānhṛdi | bāṇairvyoma diśaḥ pṛthvīṃ pūrayāmāsa dānavaḥ
Ang panginoon ng Daitya ay di natinag; bagaman sugatan sa puso ng mga palaso ng mga deva, pinuno niya ng sariling ulang-palaso ang langit, ang mga panig, at ang lupa.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced: Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: Tāraka, wounded yet fearless, draws and releases countless arrows; the sky darkens with shafts like a storm, filling all directions and raining upon earth; devas brace behind shields amid a tempest of missiles.
