Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 42
सुस्राव शोणितं पश्चात्सर्वस्रोतस्सु तस्य वै । शूलरक्तेन रुद्रस्य शुशुभे गजदानवः
susrāva śoṇitaṃ paścātsarvasrotassu tasya vai | śūlaraktena rudrasya śuśubhe gajadānavaḥ
Pagkaraan, umagos ang dugo mula sa lahat ng lagusan ng kanyang katawan; at ang dambuhalang demonyong-elepante ay nagmistulang nakapanghihilakbot na maningning, nabahiran ng dugo ni Rudra sa dulo ng trisula.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages
Scene: An elephantine asura stands glaring and ‘bright’ in a ghastly way, blood streaming from every channel; Rudra’s trident is smeared with divine blood, heightening the paradox of the god’s inviolability versus the drama of combat.
