Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 84
तं प्रेष्य गरुडो दूरं भक्षयित्वाथ भूरिशः । नभो विक्षोभयांचक्रे प्रलयानिल सन्निभः
taṃ preṣya garuḍo dūraṃ bhakṣayitvātha bhūriśaḥ | nabho vikṣobhayāṃcakre pralayānila sannibhaḥ
اسے دور پھینک کر پھر نگل گیا طاقتور گروڑ؛ اور قیامتِ کائنات کی آندھی کی مانند اس نے آسمان کو سخت ہیجان میں ڈال دیا۔
