Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAmartya (अमर्त्य) refers to the “Gods”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.16 (“The battle of the gods”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā and the Gods eulogized Viṣṇu: “[...] O thunderbolt for the destruction of misery etc. of the gods (amartya) harassed by the Asuras. Obeisance to you lying on the Serpent-bed. Obeisance to the one who has sun and the moon for his eyes. O lord of Lakṣmī, O ocean of mercy, save us who have sought refuge in you. All the gods have been driven out of heaven by Jalandhara. [...]”.

The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
