Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia1) Tāladhvaja (तालध्वज).—The phantom husband of Nārada. Once Nārada became a woman and a king called Tāladhvaja married her (Devī Purāṇa). It was to show how the mind is covered with illusion that Mahāviṣṇu made Nārada into a woman.
Once Nārada went to Mahāviṣṇu and asked him about the secret of life. Mahāviṣṇu said that there was nothing called life and life exists because of Māyā the illusion of the mind. Nārada insisted that he should see 'Māyā' (illusion) and so Viṣṇu started from Vaikuṇṭha with Nārada on the back of Garuḍa. (See full article at Story of Tāladhvaja from the Puranic encyclopaedia by Vettam Mani)
2) Tāladhvaja (तालध्वज).—See under Siṃhadhvaja.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
