Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Parasparavadhaiṣin (परस्परवधैषिन्) refers to “desiring to kill one another”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.10 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Tāraka-Asura fought with Kārttikeya: “[...] They fought and hit each other’s spear taking recourse to the mantras Vaitālika, Khecaraka, Prāptika etc. With these mantras they were possessed of magical properties. They wonderfully fought each other using their full strength and exploits. They were equally good adepts in fighting. Each wanted to kill the other (parasparavadhaiṣin). They utilised all their power. With the edges of spears they hit each other. [...]”.
