[...] O god! the bali has been offered to (them to chastise) those who despise [i.e., dviṣat] the heroes, Siddhas and yogis on the surface of the earth here in the gathering of the practice of the Rule. May they destroy the hearing, memory, mind, sight, fat, flesh, bones and life of the wicked in the great gathering of the Rule!”.

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDviṣat (द्विषत्) refers to the “enemies”, 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, the Asura [Tāraka] spoke to the gods derisively—‘O this child indeed will slay the enemies (dviṣat)!’ 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. [...]”.

The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
