Devastuti (देवस्तुति) refers to the “eulogy of the gods”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.12 (“The story of Śiva and Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, after the Gods eulogized Śiva: “[...] After eulogising thus and bowing to him frequently, Viṣṇu and other gods stood before him after placing Skanda ahead. On hearing the eulogy of the gods (devastuti), Śiva, the lord of all, the self-ruler was delighted. The compassionate lord then laughed. Śiva the great Īśāna, the kinsman of the distressed, the goal of the good, became delighted and spoke to Viṣṇu and other important gods. [...]”.
