Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSulīlaka (सुलीलक) refers to the “wonderful sports” (of Śiva), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.13 (“The birth of Gaṇeśa”).—Accordingly, after Gaṇeśa prevented Śiva: “When lord Śiva tried to enter the house, Gaṇeśa became infuriated, O Brahmin, and struck him with his staff once again. Then Śiva too became furious. He commanded his own Gaṇas—‘Who is this fellow here? What is he doing? O Gaṇas, enquire’. After saying this, the furious Śiva stood outside the house. The lord, following the worldly conventions, is capable of various wonderful sports (bahvadbhuta-sulīlaka)”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
