Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Prasphurita (प्रस्फुरित) refers to the “throbbing (of the lower lip)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “Dismissed thus by Indra, the intelligent emissary Ghasmara hastened to the place where the heroic Jalandhara was present. All the words thus spoken by Indra were narrated to the king of Asuras by the intelligent emissary. On hearing it, the lips of the Asura throbbed (prasphurita-adhara) with anger. Desirous of conquering the gods he exerted himself immediately. [...]”.
