Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationLokaprabhu (लोकप्रभु) refers to the “lord of the world”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.1 (“The dalliance of Śiva”).—Accordingly, after the Gaṇas of Śiva spoke to Lord Viṣṇu: “On hearing their words, O excellent sage, Viṣṇu, the gods and I were perplexed and went to the doorway of Śiva’s apartment. After going there along with me and the gods, Viṣṇu, the favourite deity of the gods, spoke in dejection but with joy in the heart. O excellent sage, standing there, along with me and the gods, he eulogised Śiva, the lord of all the worlds (sarva-lokaprabhu) with great pleasure”.
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.
