Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Duḥkhanāśa (दुःखनाश) refers to the “end (destruction) of misery”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.4.—Accordingly, as Umā (Durgā/Satī) spoke to the Gods:—“[...] Formerly, O gods, with great devotion Himācala and Menā rendered service to me in my life as Sati, like my parents. Even now they continuously render me service and Menā particularly (does so). There is no doubt about my becoming their daughter. Just as you, Rudra too, desires my incarnation in the abode of Himavat. Hence I shall incarnate. That shall be the end of misery [i.e., duḥkhanāśa] in the world. [...]”
