Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationTriśūlavara (त्रिशूलवर) refers to an “excellent trident”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.8 (“The battle between the gods and Asuras”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Saying thus and taking up his trident, Vīrabhadra mentally meditated on Śiva and fought with Tāraka, accompanied by Pramathas. With many heroic soldiers riding on bulls, wielding the tridents (triśūlavara-dhārin) and possessing three eyes he shone well in the midst of that battle. Keeping Vīrabhadra at their head, and shouting fearlessly jubilantly, hundreds of the Gaṇas fought with the Asuras. [...]”.
