Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVīramānin (वीरमानिन्) refers to “one who is heroic”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.8 (“The battle between the gods and Asuras”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] In the meantime Vīrabhadra reached the place furiously along with his heroic (vīramānin) Gaṇas and approached Tāraka who professed to be a great hero. The leader of the Gaṇas, the strong one born of the anger of Śiva, kept the gods in the rear and faced Tāraka desirous of fighting him. Then the Pramathas and the jubilant Asuras, fond of great battle, fought one another. [...]”
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.

But the only passage quoted is Jātakamālā 213(.7), where the text reads vīra- mānī, which has nothing to do with Pali veramaṇī. If vīramaṇī exists in [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] I have failed to note it.]

[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.
