Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDevasamrāj (देवसम्राज्) refers to the “emperor of the gods”, and is used to describe Kumāra / Kārttikeya (i.e., Śiva’s son), 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 (devasamrāj), sent his attendant Virabāhu on that mission. At his bidding, the great hero Virabāhu who bowed to his master with devotion started in search of it. He searched throughout the universe but nowhere did he find the goat (although) he heard about the havoc done by it. [...]”.
