Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDevasamāja (देवसमाज) refers to an “assembly of gods”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.41 (“Description of the Altar-Structure”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Śiva: “[...] O lord, Viśvakarman, a great expert in creating illusion has constructed a peculiar altar in his house at his instance. It is full of surprising things. A fascinating assembly of gods (sarva-devasamāja) has been built there. On seeing it I was deluded by his skill and was struck with surprise”.
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.
