Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (vaishnavism)Dayālu (दयालु) refers to the “(greatly) compassionate one” according to the commentary on Piḷḷai Lōkācārya’s Arthapañcaka.—Accordingly, “The person who does this ācāryābhimāna is incapable of doing anything else. With regard to him, reflecting on his lowliness and the happiness of the Lord if he were to obtain him, like a mother, who when her child falls ill, sees this as her own fault and gives it medicine, the Ācārya is that greatly compassionate one (parama-dayālu) and great devotee who can undertake the means of salvation for the soul. All that the souls has to do is to surrender to the love for him and, [as in the saying], ‘if you were to give me the certain prize, then we are meant to obtain it’, with regard to all his activities do and not do what he [the Ācārya] commands.”
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).

Kavya (काव्य, kavya) refers to Sanskrit poetry, a popular ancient Indian tradition of literature. There have been many Sanskrit poets over the ages, hailing from ancient India and beyond. This topic includes mahakavya, or ‘epic poetry’ and natya, or ‘dramatic poetry’.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDayālu (दयालु) refers to “one who is (particularly) compassionate” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as the Gods and others eulogised Śiva: “Obeisance to lord Śiva, obeisance to the destroyer of Kāma; obeisance, obeisance to one worthy of eulogy; to one of profuse splendour, to the three-eyed lord. Obeisance to Śiva clad in skin; obeisance to the terrible, to the terrible-eyed, to great lord and to the lord of the three worlds. You are the lord of worlds; you are the father, the mother and the lord; you are Śiva the benefactor. You are particularly compassionate [i.e., dayālu—dayālustvaṃ viśeṣataḥ]. You are the creator of all the worlds; O lord, you shall save us. O great God, except you who else is competent to destroy misery?”.
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.
