Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDevagarva (देवगर्व) refers to the “impudence of the Gods”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.15 (“Gaṇeśa’s battle”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Śiva: “O lord of the gods, please listen to my words. You are the all-pervading lord and expert in various sports. By indulging in a great sport, the arrogance of the Gaṇas has been removed by you. O Śaṅkara, the impudence of the gods (devagarva) too has been removed by giving this (Gaṇeśa) much strength. O lord Śiva, your own wonderful strength has been known to the worlds, you who independently remove the haughtiness of everyone. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
