Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJvālāsamākula (ज्वालासमाकुल) refers to “being covered with flames”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.8 (“The battle between the gods and Asuras”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The heroic Asura Tāraka, the slayer of enemies, immediately split the arrows of the gods by his own sharp arrows. The Asura Tāraka then quickly hit Viṣṇu with his spear. On being hit thus, Viṣṇu fell unconscious on the ground. In a trice, Viṣṇu got up and in rage seized his discus that was blazing with flames (jvalat-jvālāsamākula) and he roared like a lion. [...]”.
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.
