Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 11
ततश्चिक्षेप संक्रुद्धस्तस्य वज्रं शतक्रतुः । सोऽपि तल्लीलया धृत्वा जगृहे सव्यपाणिना
tataścikṣepa saṃkruddhastasya vajraṃ śatakratuḥ | so'pi tallīlayā dhṛtvā jagṛhe savyapāṇinā
پھر شتکرتو (اندر) غضبناک ہو کر اس پر اپنا وجر دے مارا؛ مگر اس نے کھیل کی طرح آسانی سے اسے تھام لیا اور بائیں ہاتھ سے اسے پکڑ لیا۔
