: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Vyasu (व्यस�) refers to �(fallen) dead� (in battle), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.10 (“Boasting of Tāraka�).—Accordingly, as Kumāra (Kārttikeya) fought with Tāraka-Asura: “[...] On seeing the powerful Asura fallen dead (vyasu) in the battle, the hero did not go and attack him again. When the powerful Asura was slain, other Asuras were killed by gods and Gaṇas. Some of the Asuras who were afraid joined their palms in reverence. In the battle the limbs of many Asuras were chopped off and severed. Thousands were killed too. [...]�.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), 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.
