Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAtibalānvita (अतिबलान्वित) refers to “being endowed with much strength”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.8 (“The battle between the gods and Asuras”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] In a trice, Viṣṇu got up and in rage seized his discus that was blazing with flames and he roared like a lion. Viṣṇu hit the king of Asuras with it. Overwhelmed by the forceful hit he fell on the ground. Getting up again, the foremost among Asuras and their leader, Tāraka using all his strength (atibalānvita) immediately split the discus with his spear. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
