Mount Pahurina was one of the lands of the Assuwa coalition in Bronze Age Anatolia that opposed the Hittites toward the end of the fifteenth century BC. It is named only in the Annals of Tudḫaliya, a text that chronicled the acts of Hittite monarch Tudḫaliya I.
The name derives from the Luwic root pÃÂá¸«à «r meaning "fire" and the denominal verb ina. The name suggests a volcano.

The aftermath of a volcanic eruption is believed to be described in the Telipinu myth.
