Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 110
चन्द्रशर्मोवाच । के यूयं विकृताकारा जंतूनां च भयानकाः । पृथ्वीसमुद्भवा जीवा न दृष्टा न श्रुता मया
candraśarmovāca | ke yūyaṃ vikṛtākārā jaṃtūnāṃ ca bhayānakāḥ | pṛthvīsamudbhavā jīvā na dṛṣṭā na śrutā mayā
Chandraśarman nói: “Các ngươi là ai, hình dạng méo mó, khiến muôn loài kinh hãi? Trông như những sinh linh sinh từ đất, nhưng ta chưa từng thấy, cũng chưa từng nghe về các ngươi trước đây.”
Candraśarman
Scene: Candraśarman, still shaken, raises his hands in a mix of fear and inquiry, addressing the distorted beings; the beings loom but pause, as if about to reveal their identity and demand.
