Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀruddhya (आरुद्ध्य) refers to “blocking (someone’s path)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.13 (“Resuscitation of Indra”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “O sage, once Bṛhaspati and Indra went to Kailāsa with great devotion, to see lord Śiva. Coming to know of the arrival of Bṛhaspati and Indra eager to see him, lord Śiva wished to test their knowledge. Accordingly, the lord, the excellent goal of the good, stood blocking (āruddhya) their path in the naked form with matted hair and beaming face. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
