Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDhikdhik (धिक्धिक्) refers to “exclamations of fie, fie!”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.30. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] When people were saying thus on seeing the self-immolation of Satī, her attendants rose up in anger with their weapons. They had been waiting near the door numbering sixty thousand. Those powerful attendants of lord Śiva became furious. Those attendants of Śiva shouted exclamations—Hā Hā, fie, fie [viz., dhikdhik], no, no, loudly and frequently. The quarters were pervaded with the shouts of Hā, Hā. The Devas and sages who had assembled there were struck with fear”.
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.
