Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Hatvā (हत्वा) refers to “having killed”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.12 (“The story of Śiva and Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu said to Kārttikeya: “[...] You alone are the creator, sustainer and annihilator of the universe. You, born of fire-god, be pleased. Your cosmic image is identical with the universe. O son of Śiva, kinsman of the distressed, be pleased. O lord, protector of the gods, O lord, save us always. O merciful one, protector of gods, be pleased. After killing (hatvā) the Asura Tāraka along with his followers, O great lord, the gods have been freed from adversities by you”.
