Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSandehākula (सन्देहाकुल) refers to “being struck with surprise and suspicion”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.41 (“Description of the Altar-Structure”).—Accordingly, after mount Himavat (Himācala) spoke to Nārada: “You accepted the suggestion noble-heartedly and performed the duties there. Then accompanied by the sons of the mountain and others you went to Śiva’s presence. There the brilliant god Śiva surrounded by the gods and others was seen and bowed to by you and the mountains with devotion. Then all the gods including Indra, Viṣṇu and me and Śiva’s attendants asked you, O sage. They had been struck with surprise and suspicion (sandehākula-mānasa) on seeing the mountains Maināka, Sahya, Meru and others bedecked in all kinds of ornaments”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
