Akliṣṭakarma (अक्लिष्टकर्म) refers to “one of indefatigable enterprise” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.22 (“Description of Jalandhara’s Battle”).—Accordingly, as Jalandhara attacked Śiva: “[...] The infuriated Asura the son of the ocean, devoid of a chariot and with bow split up rushed at Śiva lifting his mace vigorously. O Vyāsa, lord Śiva of great sports immediately split asunder the mace hurled by him, by means of his arrows. Yet the highly infuriated great Asura rushed at Śiva with the mailed fist lifted up, with a desire to kill him. By a volley of arrows Jalandhara was hurled back a Krośa by Śiva of indefatigable enterprise (akliṣṭakarma-kāra). [...]”.
