Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBrahmāṇḍagolaka (ब्रह्माण्डगोलक) refers to the “universe (globe)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.6 (“The miraculous feat of Kārttikeya”).—Accordingly, after the Brahmin named Nārada spoke to Kumāra (Kārttikeya): “On hearing his words, Śiva’s son, the emperor of the gods, sent his attendant Vīrabāhu on that mission. At his bidding, the great hero Vīrabāhu who bowed to his master with devotion started in search of it. He searched throughout the universe (sarva-brahmāṇḍagolaka) but nowhere did he find the goat (although) he heard about the havoc done by it. [...]”.
