Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 5
एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु ह्यंधकस्य सुतो वृकः । निष्क्रम्य सागरात्तूर्णं जंबुद्वीपं समागतः
etasminneva kāle tu hyaṃdhakasya suto vṛkaḥ | niṣkramya sāgarāttūrṇaṃ jaṃbudvīpaṃ samāgataḥ
就在那时，安陀迦之子弗哩迦迅速自海中出离，来到阎浮提。
Sūta (continued narration)
Scene: A powerful asura, Vṛka, rises swiftly from the ocean’s depths, water streaming from his body, and strides toward the vast land of Jambūdvīpa.
