Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Tarjita (तर्जित) refers to “(having been) threatened”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.9 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Kumāra (son of Śiva): “[...] Formerly Indra and the guardians of the quarters had been conquered by him. Due to the power of his penance, the heroic Viṣṇu too has been threatened (tarjita) by him. The entire universe of the three worlds has been defeated by this wicked Asura. Now, because of your presence, they have fought again. Hence, O son of Śiva, this sinful being Tāraka shall be killed by you. Due to the boon granted by me he cannot be slain by any one else. [...]”.
