Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 87
अहं हि सर्वदाग्रस्थं नरं पश्यामि संयुगे । निघ्नंतं शात्रवांस्तत्र न जाने कोऽप्यसाविति
ahaṃ hi sarvadāgrasthaṃ naraṃ paśyāmi saṃyuge | nighnaṃtaṃ śātravāṃstatra na jāne ko'pyasāviti
“Sapagkat sa digmaan, lagi kong nakikita ang isang Tao sa unahan, na siyang lumulupig sa mga kaaway doon—ngunit hindi ko nalalaman kung sino siya.”
Arjuna (continuing)
Scene: A warrior (Arjuna implied) scans the battlefield, sensing an unknown champion at the vanguard cutting down foes; the figure is half-seen, luminous, and indistinct—more presence than person.
