Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Sādhvasa (साध्वस) 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 (jāta-sādhvasa) [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. [...]”.
