गृहीतं तु धनुस्तेन विपुलं लोमहर्षणम्,त्रिपुरनाशक भगवान् शिवने देवशत्रुओंका विनाश करनेवाले जिस विशाल तथा रोमाज्चकारी श्रेष्ठ धनुषको रख छोड़ा था उसे बलवान् स्कन्दने उठा लिया और बड़े जोरसे गर्जना की

马尔坎德耶说道：“随后，力大无俦的斯坎达举起那张宏伟而令人毛骨悚然的神弓——正是昔日毁灭三城（Tripura）的圣者湿婆，用以覆灭诸天之敌的武器。执弓在手，斯坎达发出如雷霆般的长吼，宣示神圣决意奋起，对抗威胁宇宙秩序的势力。”

Educational Q&A
Divine power is portrayed as being exercised for the protection of dharma: formidable weapons and strength are legitimate when directed toward restraining forces that endanger cosmic and moral order, not for personal gain.
Mārkaṇḍeya narrates that Skanda picks up an awe-inspiring, massive bow associated with Śiva’s destruction of Tripura and the gods’ enemies, and then roars loudly—an announcement of readiness and divine resolve before action.
