Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 46
यज्ञभागं लभंते स्म कच्चिद्देवाः सवासवाः । कच्चिन्न दानवः कश्चिदुत्कटोऽभूद्धरातले
yajñabhāgaṃ labhaṃte sma kacciddevāḥ savāsavāḥ | kaccinna dānavaḥ kaścidutkaṭo'bhūddharātale
“کیا دیوتا، واسَو (اندَر) سمیت، اب بھی یَجْن کا واجب حصہ پاتے ہیں؟ اور کیا زمین پر کوئی سخت گیر دانَو پیدا نہیں ہوا؟”

Scene: Bhagavān continues questioning: are devas receiving yajña portions, and has any fierce daṇava manifested on earth—an image of ritual fires and celestial concern juxtaposed with terrestrial threat.
