Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Punaryuddha (पुनर्युद्ध) refers to “(having to) fight again”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.9 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Kumāra (son of Śiva): “[...] Formerly Indra and the guardians of the quarters had been conquered by him. Due to the power of his penance, the heroic Viṣṇu too has been threatened by him. The entire universe of the three worlds has been defeated by this wicked Asura. Now, because of your presence, they have fought again (punaryuddha). Hence, O son of Śiva, this sinful being Tāraka shall be killed by you. Due to the boon granted by me he cannot be slain by any one else. [...]”.

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.
