Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBhūriśakti (भूरिशक्ति) refers to “immense potentiality”, which Śiva protects, according the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.15. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] On arrival there, after paying respects to the lord [Śiva] with great excitement we lauded Him with various hymns with palms joined in reverence. The Devas said: [...] Obeisance to Thee whose velocity is unbearable, who hast three Śaktis, who art identical with the three Vedas (Trayīmaya); Obeisance to Thee the delighted protector (prasanna-pāla) of immense potentiality (bhūriśakti)”.
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.
