Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 87
भक्ष्यन्ते दानवाः केचिद्वध्यन्ते त्वथ चापरे । अर्धभक्षित गात्राश्च प्रणश्यंति तथा परे
bhakṣyante dānavāḥ kecidvadhyante tvatha cāpare | ardhabhakṣita gātrāśca praṇaśyaṃti tathā pare
Một số Dānava bị nuốt chửng, số khác bị giết hại. Những kẻ khác, với tay chân bị ăn dở, cũng đều diệt vong.
Sūta (continuing narration)
Scene: A chaotic battlefield where some daityas are being devoured, others slain; fallen bodies and half-eaten limbs convey the terror and totality of defeat, with survivors fleeing into darkness.
