Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSamudyamya (समुद्यम्य) refers to “raising one’s weapon” (in battle), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.9 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Tāraka-Asura fought with the Gods: “[...] Within a moment Viṣṇu got up but by that time Vīrabhadra came near the demon and dexterously raised (samudyamya) his trident. The powerful Vīrabhadra hit him with all his force. Hit by the trident he fell on the ground. Though he fell down, Tāraka of mighty splendour got up again. [...]”.
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.
