Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 14
चिच्छेद लीलया तांश्च दैत्यः क्रोधीव सद्वचः । निष्फलांस्तांस्ततो दृष्ट्वा बाणान्क्रुद्धो धनाधिपः
ciccheda līlayā tāṃśca daityaḥ krodhīva sadvacaḥ | niṣphalāṃstāṃstato dṛṣṭvā bāṇānkruddho dhanādhipaḥ
دَیتیہ نے انہیں کھیل ہی کھیل میں کاٹ ڈالا، جیسے غصے میں آدمی سخت کلامی سے اچھی نصیحت کو چیر دے۔ اپنے تیر بے اثر دیکھ کر دولت کے رب کُبیر غضبناک ہو گیا۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa style)
Scene: Kujaṃbha slices Kubera’s incoming arrows mid-air with casual mastery; the broken shafts scatter like splinters. Kubera’s face tightens, eyes redden, anger rising as he sees his attack fail.
