Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDaśarathātmaja (दशरथात्मज) refers to the “son of Daśaratha”, and is used as an epithet for Rāma, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.24. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] once Śiva accompanied by Satī and seated on His Bull wandered over the Earth, in one of his sportive activities. Wandering over the ocean-girt Earth He reached Daṇḍaka forest [...] There Śiva saw Rāma who was searching for Sitā [...] [Rāma] was a heroic king of the solar race, son of Daśaratha [viz., daśarathātmaja], elder brother of Bharata. He had become cheerless and devoid of lustre”.
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.
