Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDevavacana (देववचन) refers to the “words of the Gods”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.31 (“Description of Śiva’s magic”).—Accordingly, after the Gods eulogised Śiva: “Eulogising lord Śiva thus, Indra and other gods respectfully submitted all the details. On hearing the words of the gods (devavacana), lord Śiva agreed to the proposal. He made the gods return after assuring them smilingly. Hastening to their abodes, the gods rejoiced much considering their work fully fulfilled and praising Sadāśiva”.
