Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Ā (आगस्) refers to �(an act of) aggression�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.40.—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu said to Brahmā and other Devas:—“[...] an aggression () against a powerful person neither befits a weak aggressor nor leads to his welfare. Thus, O Brahman, the gods have committed sin and offended Śiva, since they had partaken of His share in the sacrifice. You shall propitiate Śiva by falling at his feet, with pure mind�.
