Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMuṇḍāṅkita (मुण्डाङ्कित) refers to “(a place) littered with headless trunks”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.7 (“Commencement of the War”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] In the meantime the rank and file of the Asuras and the gods, haughty of their strength and blazing with fury came together in a mutual clash. A terrific tumultuous fight between the gods and the Asuras ensued. Within a moment the place was littered with severed heads and headless trunks (muṇḍāṅkita) [ruṇḍamuṃḍāṃkitaṃ sarvaṃ kṣaṇena samapadyata]. [...]”.
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.
