Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚatrumṛtyu (शत्रुमृत्यु) refers to the “death of enemies”, which is mentioned as obtainable through the worship of Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.14:—“[...] the worship with Japā flowers (China rose) brings about the death of enemies (śatrumṛtyu). Karavīra flowers drive away all ailments (roga-uccāṭa). [...] the flowers of Rājikā bring about the death of enemies (śatrumṛtyu). A hundred thousand Rājikā flowers shall be used for the worship of Śiva. The benefit accruing will be very great (vipulaphala). [...] worship with Rājikā (small mustard) of Śiva shall bring about the death of enemies (śatrumṛtyu). Twenty palas of Sarṣapa (big mustard) constitute a hundred thousand in number. Worshipping with them also brings about the death of enemies (śatrumṛtyu). The Śivaliṅga shall be decorated with the leaves of Āḍhakī and then worshipped”.
