Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚaṃbhukathā (शंभुकथा) refers to “Śiva’s story”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.11 (“The Gods’ prayer”).—Accordingly, as Vyāsa said to Sanatkumāra: “O son of Brahmā, of great intellect, O most excellent among the devotees of Śiva, you are blessed. When the three cities were burnt what did the gods do? Where did Maya who was spared go? Where did the ascetics go? Please narrate all, if it relates to Śiva’s story [e.g., śaṃbhukathā]”.
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.
