Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 19
घोरैर्व्याधिशतैश्चापि सव्यतो याति कोपितः । यमस्य पृष्ठतश्चापि घोरस्त्रिशिखरः सितः
ghorairvyādhiśataiścāpi savyato yāti kopitaḥ | yamasya pṛṣṭhataścāpi ghorastriśikharaḥ sitaḥ
Sa kaliwa, siya’y naglakad na nagngangalit, kasunod ang daan-daang nakapanghihilakbot na karamdaman; at sa likuran ni Yama ay sumunod din ang kakila-kilabot na Triśikhara, maputla at nakatatakot.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Scene: On Yama’s left flank, a grim swarm of personified diseases advances; behind Yama stalks Triśikhara—pale, three-peaked/three-crested, terrifying—like a spectral sentinel.
