Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 20
विजयोनाम रुद्रस्य याति शूलः स्वयं कृतः । तमुग्रपाशो भगवन्वरुणः सलिलेश्वरः
vijayonāma rudrasya yāti śūlaḥ svayaṃ kṛtaḥ | tamugrapāśo bhagavanvaruṇaḥ salileśvaraḥ
Cây tam xoa do chính Rudra tự tạo, mang tên Vijaya, tiến ra phía trước; và theo sau là đức Varuṇa khả kính, chúa tể thủy giới, cầm sợi thòng lọng dữ dằn.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) addressing the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative style)
Scene: The self-fashioned trident of Rudra, named Vijaya, moves as if alive at the head of a segment of the host; behind it comes Varuṇa, radiant and solemn, holding the formidable noose, with watery aura.
