Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Vyomacara (व्योमचर) refers to “those (Gaṇas) coming through the sky”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.40 (“The Marriage Procession of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The leaders were as refulgent as Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Indra, Aṇimā and other Energies. They were as brilliant and lustrous as crores of suns. O sage, some of them belonged to this terrestrial world, some came through nether worlds, some came through the sky (vyomacara) and some came through seven heavens. Of what avail is this talk? O celestial sage, Śiva’s own Gaṇas living in all the worlds came and joined the procession of Śiva, with pleasure. [...]”.
