In that enterprise of the lord of the Asuras (asurendra), countless Asuras from all the quarters and the nether region took part and helped him. Then the extremely heroic and valorous son of the ocean set forth with countless generals, Śumbha, Niśumbha and others. Very soon, he reached the heaven along with his force. He blew his conch. All the heroic soldiers roared. [...]”.
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.
