Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSadrājya (सद्राज्य) refers to a “good kingdom”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.1 (“Description of Tripura—the three cities).—Accordingly, after Maya built the three cities: “[...] Thus the Asuras, sons of Tāraka, after acquiring the boons, lived there subservient to Maya, a great devotee of Śiva. Abandoning the other parts in the three worlds they entered the cities and ruled the kingdom following the principles of Śiva. O sage, a long time elapsed even as they were engaged in meritorious activities and living happily ruling over the good kingdom (sadrājya). [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
