पुराणम्
Englishहालाहलस् / HĀLĀHALA(S) A sect of asuras, who were the first creation of the Trimūrtis, when they also possessed the power of creation. The hālāhalas, who became very powerful within a short period of time earned from brahmā all the boons they wanted, and they then conquered the three worlds. At last they barricaded kailāsa and vaikuṇṭha also, and Hariharas (viṣṇu and śiva) defeated them after a fierce fight lasting for a thousand years. The Hariharas returned to their abodes and spoke about their achievements. Their wives laughed at the bravado of their husbands. At this Mahāviṣṇu got angry with lakṣmī and śiva with pārvatī, and in protest the Devīs left their husbands. From that day onwards viṣṇu and śiva began losing their power. brahmā, who divined the reason for the growing weakness of viṣṇu and śiva persuaded lakṣmī and pārvatī to return to their husbands so that they might regain their former power. Yet, brahmā told them that in future he alone would handle the work of creation. Thus was viṣṇu and śiva divested of their right to creation. (devī bhāgavata, 7th skandha).
