Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 87
रक्षणे विनिवृत्ते च हत्वा चान्योन्यमाहवे । परस्परहतास्ताश्च निराक्रंदाः सुदुःखिताः
rakṣaṇe vinivṛtte ca hatvā cānyonyamāhave | parasparahatāstāśca nirākraṃdāḥ suduḥkhitāḥ
جب حفاظت اور نظم اٹھ جائے گا تو وہ جنگ میں ایک دوسرے کو قتل کریں گے۔ باہم مارے گئے، وہ بے فریاد پڑے رہیں گے، سخت غم و الم میں ڈوبے ہوئے۔
Īśvara (Śiva)
Scene: A battlefield without victors: bodies lie still, no lamentation; broken chariots; a dim sun; crows and wind—silence heavier than sound.
