Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Acyutaśarīra (अच्युतशरीर) refers to the “body of Viṣṇu”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.5.—Accordingly, as Menā eulogised Śivā (i.e., Umā/Durgā):—“[...] You are the great power latent in fire; you are the burning power of the sun’s rays; you are the pleasing power of the extensive moonlight. O Goddess, I bow to you. To good women you manifest yourself as their beloved; to persons of perfect self-control and sublimation you manifest yourself as eternal; to the entire universe you manifest as desire; as of Viṣṇu you are the Māyā so you are of Śiva. You assume different forms as you please for the purpose of creation, sustenance and annihilation and give birth to the bodies of Brahmā, Viṣṇu [i.e., acyutaśarīra—brahmācyutasthāṇuśarīrahetussā] and Śiva. You, of such potentiality, be pleased. Obeisance to you again”.
