Atulatejas (अतुलतेजस्) refers to “unequalled splendour” and is used as an epithet for Viṣṇu, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.37. Accordingly:—“[...] Viṣṇu fought a great battle with them by hurling many weapons and evincing boisterous display of his terrific exploits. Bhairava and others displayed their strength furiously by hurling several weapons and by fighting with him. Vīrabhadra saw their battle with Viṣṇu of unequalled splendour [viz., atulatejas], returned and clashed with him in a great battle”.
