Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBhrātṛtva (भ्रातृत्व) refers to “brother”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.20 (“The fight between the Gaṇas and the Asuras”).—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu replied to Śiva: “[Jalandhara] was not killed in war by me because he was born of a part of yours. Moreover he is Lakṣmī’s brother (bhrātṛtva). Please kill him. O lord of the gods, he is very powerful, heroic and indefatigable by all the heaven-dwellers and others too. I am telling you the truth. In fact a war was fought with him by me in the company of the gods. But my strategy was ineffective in regard to this great Dānava. [...]”.
