Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Amlāna (अम्लान) refers to “never-fading (lotuses)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.19 (“Jalandhara’s emissary to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Jalandhara said to Rāhu: “O messenger, you shall go there and tell the detached Yogin Śiva with matted locks of hair, fearlessly.—‘[...] The great garland of never-fading lotuses (amlāna-paṅkajā) of fine filaments belonging to my father is as good as mine. The noose of Varuṇa lord of waters is also mine. The excellent Javelin of Mṛtyu has been seized by me with force. The god of fire has surrendered to me two clothes purified in fire. Thus, O great Yogin, all excellent things shine in my possession. Hence O ascetic (wearing matted hair) you too surrender your wife the most excellent of all ladies to me’.”.
