Śṛṣṭi (शरवृष्टि) refers to “showers of arrows�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.22 (“Description of Jalandhara’s Battle�).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to his Gaṇas: “Then the great lord Śiva assuming a terrible form went laughingly to the battle-field and sat on his bull, accompanied by his heroic Gaṇas. On seeing Śiva coming, the Gaṇas who were formerly defeated returned to fight roaring like lions. Other Gaṇas too shouted heroically and jubilantly. Well-equipped with their weapons they killed the Daityas with showers of arrows (śṛṣṭi). On seeing Śiva the terrible, all the Daityas fled for fear from the battle field as the sins on seeing a devotee of Śiva. [...]�.
