Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Daivavaśa (दैववश) refers to a “fortunate event”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.18 (“The conversation between Nārada and Jalandhara”).—Accordingly, as the Gods said to Nārada: “[...] The great Asura Jalandhara who has suppressed the gods and who is very powerful has made Viṣṇu subservient to him in the battle. Becoming subservient because of helplessness occasioned by the boon granted to him, Viṣṇu who carried out our tasks has now begun to stay in his palace along with Lakṣmī. O intelligent one, please exert yourself for the destruction of Jalandhara. You have fortunately (daivavaśa) come to us and you have always been the person who can achieve everything for us”.
