Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBāṇaugha (बाणौघ) refers to “innumerable arrows”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.17 (“The fight between Viṣṇu and Jalandhara”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] Then a great battle ensued between Viṣṇu and Jalandhara, the ruler of Asuras, both filling up the sky with their arrows. [...] Striking with a single arrow, Viṣṇu smote the heart of the Asura. With innumerable arrows (bāṇaugha) he cut off the umbrella, banner, bow and arrows of the demon. Seizing the mace with his hand, the Asura jumped up quickly, hit Garuḍa on his head and felled him to the ground. [...]”.
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.
