Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 34
कोपस्फुरितदंष्ट्राग्रः करस्फोटेन नादयन् । सुरान्नघ्नंश्चराराजौ दुष्प्रेक्ष्यः सोऽथ दानवः
kopasphuritadaṃṣṭrāgraḥ karasphoṭena nādayan | surānnaghnaṃścarārājau duṣprekṣyaḥ so'tha dānavaḥ
Sa nanginginig na mga dulo ng pangil sa galit, umuungal kasabay ng lagutok ng kanyang mga kamay, ang Danava na iyon—na mahirap titigan—ay gumalaw sa larangan ng digmaan, na pinapabagsak ang mga diyos.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: A monstrous dānava with quivering fangs, eyes blazing, roars while clapping his hands; he prowls the field striking down devas, his form almost unbearable to look upon.
