The Asura Tāraka of great strength fought with Indra, Saṃhrāda with Agni and Yama with Jambha. Lord Varuṇa fought with Nairṛta and Bala. Suvīra, the king of Guhyas, fought with Vāyu. [...]”.
2) Saṃhrāda (संह्राद) refers to the “rumbling noise” (made by chariots), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.21 (“Description of the Special War”).—Accordingly, as Jalandhara fought with Śiva’s Gaṇas: “[...] The victorious Gaṇas of Śiva too roared, led by Nandin, Kārttikeya, Gaṇeśa and Vīrabhadara, O sage. The trumpets of the elephants, the neighing of the horses, the rumbling (saṃhrāda) of the chariots, the sounds of the conches and war-drums and the leonine roars of the armies rose up. The space between heaven and the earth became enveloped by the many arrows discharged by Jalandhara as if by floating masses of mist. [...]”.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), 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.
