Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Jātasādhvasa (जातसाध्वस) refers to “fear” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.7 (“Commencement of the War”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “On hearing the celestial voice, the gods became enthusiastic. Fearlessly they roared like heroes. With their fear subsided (jātasādhvasa) [sarve te jātasādhvasāḥ], and keeping Kumāra ahead, the gods went to the confluence of the river Mahī and the ocean desirous of fighting. Immediately Tāraka, along with a great army, came to the place where the gods stood and was surrounded by them in a body. [...]”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
