Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationRaviprakāśa (रविप्रकाश) refers to “those who are resplendent like the sun”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.9 (“Śiva’s campaign”).—Accordingly, after Śiva became the lord of the Paśus: “[...] Even in hundreds of years it is impossible to describe adequately the form of the great soul which he assumed then. Śiva the lord of Pārvatī and everyone, the bestower of happiness to all, went ahead to destroy the three cities. Then all the gods, resplendent like the sun (raviprakāśa), under the lord of the gods and others went on elephants, horses, lions, bulls and chariots to kill Tripuras, leaders of the Asuras. [...]”.
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.
