Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 26

Devanagari script

तथा दीर्घनखो दैत्यः स्वेनानीकेन संवृतः । मंत्रिपुत्रो महामायो दैत्यराज कुशस्य वै । निर्ययौ विघसो दैत्यः प्रघसश्च महाबलः

Transliteration

tathā dīrghanakho daityaḥ svenānīkena saṃvṛtaḥ | maṃtriputro mahāmāyo daityarāja kuśasya vai | niryayau vighaso daityaḥ praghasaśca mahābalaḥ

Translation

Cũng vậy, Daitya Dīrghanakha xuất quân, được đội ngũ của mình vây quanh. Mahāmāya, con của vị đại thần của vua Daitya Kuśa, cũng lên đường; Daitya Vighasa cũng ra đi, và cả Praghāsa đầy uy lực.

FAQs

Names and ranks can be many, but when power serves adharma it becomes a chain that binds its holders to downfall.

Dvārakā is the overarching sacred locus; this verse lists the opposing Daitya champions within that Māhātmya.

None; it is a roster of Daitya leaders marching to war.
