Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Adripati (अद्रिपति) refers to the “lord of mountains, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.15 (“The penance and reign of Tārakāsura”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated: “That Varāṅgī, when the time was complete, delivered of a son of huge body and great strength dazzling the ten quarters. [...] Then Kaśyapa Prajāpati thought well and named the powerful demon Tāraka. That heroic demon, with his manliness and valour manifesting quickly grew and developed with his steely frame like the lord of mountains [i.e., adripati]. Then the demon Tāraka, of great strength and exploit, endowed with a lofty mind, requested permission of his mother for performing penance. [...]”.
