Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 32
निर्गता दानवाः क्रुद्धा वेला इव महोदधेः । गर्जन्तः सायुधाः सर्वे धावन्तो रथवर्त्मनि
nirgatā dānavāḥ kruddhā velā iva mahodadheḥ | garjantaḥ sāyudhāḥ sarve dhāvanto rathavartmani
غصّے سے بھرے دانَو بڑے سمندر کی اٹھتی لہروں کی مانند باہر نکل آئے۔ گرجتے ہوئے، سب کے سب ہتھیار بند، رتھ کے راستے پر دوڑتے ہوئے تعاقب میں لگ گئے۔
