Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚubhavrata (शुभव्रत) refers to “having one’s mind fixed in Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.7 (“The gods pray”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to the Gods: “O Viṣṇu, O Brahmā, O gods and O sages of auspicious rites (śubhavrata), I am delighted by your Japa. Speak out the desired boon”.
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.
