Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 23
जग्राह वामहस्तेन लीलया ग्रसनोऽरिहा । तेनैव मुद्गरेणाथ यमस्य महिषं रुषा
jagrāha vāmahastena līlayā grasano'rihā | tenaiva mudgareṇātha yamasya mahiṣaṃ ruṣā
دشمن کُش گرسنہ نے بائیں ہاتھ سے اسے کھیل ہی کھیل میں تھام لیا؛ پھر اسی گُرز سے غضب میں یم کے مہیش (بھینسے) پر ضرب لگائی۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages
Scene: Grasana catches the blazing mallet with his left hand as if in sport, then swings it with fury onto Yama’s buffalo mount; the buffalo recoils, Yama’s posture jolts.
