Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Avyākula (अव्याकुल) refers to “(one who is) unagitated”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.9 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] On seeing the incomprehensible six-headed deity [i.e., Kumāra] coming forward, fierce and unagitated (avyākula), the Asura [Tāraka] spoke to the gods derisively—‘O this child indeed will slay the enemies!’ I will fight with him single-handed. I will kill the soldiers, the Gaṇas and the guardians of the quarters led by Viṣṇu. Saying thus, the powerful Asura rushed at Kumāra to fight with him. Tāraka seized his wonderful spear and spoke to the gods. [...]”.
