Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Tridivaukas (त्रिदिवौकस्) refers to the “dwellers of heaven”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.4.—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Umā (Durgā/Satī) with devotion:—“[...] thus eulogised by the Gods, the Goddess Durgā, the mother of the universe, the destroyer of impassable distress, appeared in front of them. [...] Śivā was seen by the gods through the power of huge column of brilliance. Again the gods eulogised her in order to have a sight of her. Then Viṣṇu and other gods who were desirous of seeing her saw the mother of the universe there itself after receiving her favour. The dwellers of heaven (tridivaukas) were extremely pleased, they bowed to her again and again and particularly eulogised her”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
