Shiva Purana
ततः समुत्थाय कृपाणमुज्ज्वलं स चर्म्म कण्ठीरवमूर्ध्न्यताडयत् ॥ बिभेद तं चापि महासिनाम्बिका यथा कुठारेण तरुं तरुश्छिदः ॥ ३३ ॥
He then lifted up his lustrous sword along with the shield and struck the lion on its head. With her great sword she split it too as the woodcutters do to a tree with the axe.
