Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationNānopabhoga (नानोपभोग) refers to “different means of enjoyment”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.3 (“The virtues of the three cities—Tripura).—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu thought to himself regarding the inhabitants of Tripura: “[...] After perpetrating great sins they worship Śiva and so they are freed of all sins even as the leaves of the lotus from water. O gods, thanks to the worship of Śiva, their cherished desires are realised. Different means of enjoyment (nānopabhoga-saṃpatti) in the world are brought under their control. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
