Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationCandrasannibha (चन्द्रसन्निभ) refers to “that which is looking like moonshine”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.1 (“Description of Tripura—the three cities).—Accordingly, after Maya built the three cities: “[...] Entering the three cities thus, the sons of Tāraka, of great strength and valour experienced all enjoyments. [...] They had many Kalpa trees there. Elephants and horses were in plenty. There were many palaces set with gems. Aerial chariots shining like the solar sphere, set with Padmarāga stones, moving in all directions looking like moonshine (candrasannibha) illuminated the cities. [...]”.
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.
