Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBrahmādya (ब्रह्माद्य) refers to “Brahmā and other gods”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā”).—Accordingly, after Vṛnda (wife of Jalandhara) curses Viṣṇu (in disguise): “After saying this, Vṛndā entered fire though prevented by Viṣṇu who was fascinated by her charms. O sage, then Brahmā and other gods (brahmādya), gathered in the sky accompanied by their wives in order to see the salvation of Vṛndā. Then the great brilliance of the wife of Jalandhara immediately went to Śivaloka even as the gods stood watching. [...]”.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
