Skandapurana 2.4.19

Nārada said:

Seeing those leaders of the gaṇas—Nandin, Ibhamukha, and Ṣaṇmukha—

the dānavas rushed forward in wrath for single combat.

Kālanemi rushed at Nandin, Śumbha at Lambodara,

and Niśumbha, clad in armor, swiftly rushed at Ṣaṇmukha.

Niśumbha pierced the heart of Kārtikeya's peacock

with five arrows at great speed, and it fell fainting.

Then, as soon as the spear-bearer angrily grasped his spear,

Niśumbha swiftly struck him down with his own spear.

Nandīśvara pierced Kālanemi with multitudes of arrows,

and with seven arrows severed his horses, his banner, and with three his charioteer.

Kālanemi, greatly enraged, cut Nandin's bow;

flinging it aside, the mighty one struck him in the chest with a trident.

With his heart pierced by the trident, his horses slain, and his charioteer killed,

he hurled a mountain peak and brought down Śailādi as well.

Then Śumbha and Gaṇeśa, mounted on chariot and rat,

fought and pierced each other with flights of arrows.

Then Gaṇeśa pierced Śumbha in the heart with a winged shaft,

and with three arrows brought his charioteer down to the ground.

Then the enraged Śumbha pierced the lord of gaṇas with sixty arrows,

and the rat with three, and roared with the sound of a cloud.

The rat, its limbs pierced by arrows, staggered in severe pain,

and Lambodara fell and became a foot-soldier, O king.

Then Lambodara, striking Śumbha in the chest with his axe,

felled him to the ground at that moment and mounted the rat once again.

Both Kālanemi and Niśumbha with arrows simultaneously struck

Lambodara in fury, as if striking a great elephant with goads.

Seeing him afflicted, Vīrabhadra of great might

then rushed forward swiftly, accompanied by ten million bhūtas.

Kūṣmāṇḍas, bhairavas, vetālas, troops of yoginīs,

hosts of piśācas and yoginīs, and the gaṇas followed him.

Then, with shrieks of joy, deep lion-roars,

kettledrums, cymbals, and mṛdaṅgas, the earth trembled.

Then the bhūtas rushed forward, devouring the dānavas;

they leapt up, swooped down, and danced upon the field of battle.

Nandin and Kārtikeya, recovering and acting with haste,

struck down the daityas in battle with continuous flights of arrows.

Cut to pieces, pierced, with daityas slain, fallen, and devoured then,

that army was thrown into confusion, its faces crestfallen.

Seeing his army utterly destroyed then, the son of the ocean,

the mighty one, advanced against the gaṇas in his chariot with towering banners.

The clatter of elephants, horses, and chariots, the sounds of conches and kettledrums,

and the lion-roars of both armies arose then.

With the volleys of Jalandhara's arrows, as if with banks of fog,

the space between heaven and earth became completely blocked.

Having pierced Gaṇeśa with five arrows, Śailādi with nine,

and Vīrabhadra with twenty, he roared with the sound of a cloud.

Then Kārttikeya swiftly pierced the Daitya with a spear;

pierced by the spear, his mind somewhat agitated, [Jalandhara] fought on.

Then, his eyes filled with wrath, Jalandhara struck Kārttikeya

with his mace, and he fell to the surface of the earth.

In the same way he swiftly felled Nandin to the surface of the earth;

then the lord of the Gaṇas, enraged, struck the mace with his axe.

Vīrabhadra pierced the Dānava in the chest with three arrows,

and with seven he cut down his horses, standard, bow, and umbrella.

Then the lord of the Daityas, exceedingly enraged, raised a terrible spear,

felled Gaṇeśa, and then mounted another chariot.

Then, filled with fury, he rushed with speed against Vīrabhadra;

then the two, resplendent as the sun, fought with each other.

Vīrabhadra once again brought down his horses with arrows;

having his bow cut, the lord of the Daityas leaped down, armed with an iron club.

Approaching Vīrabhadra in haste, the Daitya struck him on the head with his iron club;

and that hero, his head shattered, fell to the ground, vomiting blood.

Thus ends the nineteenth chapter, named 'The Fall of Vīrabhadra,' in the story of Jalandhara, in the praise of the month of Kārttika, in the second section, the Vaiṣṇavakhaṇḍa, of the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa consisting of eighty-one thousand verses.
