Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 172
नारायणं च सप्तत्या नवत्या च हुताशनम् । दशभिर्मारुतं मूर्ध्नि यमं दशभिरेव च
nārāyaṇaṃ ca saptatyā navatyā ca hutāśanam | daśabhirmārutaṃ mūrdhni yamaṃ daśabhireva ca
اس نے نارائن کو ستر تیروں سے، اگنی کو نوّے تیروں سے زخمی کیا؛ ماروت کے سر میں دس تیر پیوست کیے اور یم کو بھی دس ہی۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced: Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration to sages)
Scene: A daitya-archer in a chariot releases rapid volleys: Nārāyaṇa, Agni, Vāyu, and Yama are each shown struck by multiple arrows—Agni’s flames disturbed, Vāyu reeling with a head-wound, Yama’s staff lowered—amid a stormy battlefield sky.
