(i) Clash With Viṣṇu. Though there were differences of opinion between Śiva and Viṣṇu on many occasions, only very rarely had occurred clashes between the two. The Purāṇas refer to two such important clashes. One has reference to a direct fight Śiva fought with Viṣṇu and the other is about Śiva's fight with Nārāyaṇarṣi, an incarnation of Viṣṇu.
