Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDaityahṛta (दैत्यहृत) refers to “being taken away by the Asuras”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] On seeing the gods being killed Bṛhaspati went to the mountain Droṇa. Then he, the object of praise and worship by the gods, did not see the mountain there. On realising that the mountain Droṇa had been removed by the Asuras (daityahṛta) [jñātvā daityahṛtaṃ droṇaṃ], Bṛhaspati was terrified. He returned and said dejectedly”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
