Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAtulatejas (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”.
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.
