Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 173
निःसृत्य जलकल्लोलपूर्विका स्कंदमाययौ । स च संताडितः शक्त्या विभिन्नहृदयोसुरः । नादयन्वसुधां सर्वां पपातायोमुखो मृतः
niḥsṛtya jalakallolapūrvikā skaṃdamāyayau | sa ca saṃtāḍitaḥ śaktyā vibhinnahṛdayosuraḥ | nādayanvasudhāṃ sarvāṃ papātāyomukho mṛtaḥ
阿约穆迦如水浪翻涌般冲出，直扑斯坎达；然而被神圣之枪“沙克蒂”（Śakti）击中，阿修罗之心被劈裂。其吼声震动大地，阿约穆迦铁面朝下倒地而亡。

Scene: Ayomukha surges forward like a wave, mouth of iron gaping; Skanda’s Śakti strikes, splitting the heart; the asura collapses face-down as the ground reverberates.
