Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDikpati (दिक्पति) refers to “guardians of the deities [=‘directions’ ?]”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.16 (“Brahmā consoles the gods”).—Accordingly, as the Gods said to Brahmā: “[...] O dear, lord of all, we are extremely harassed and agitated due to Tāraka. Agni, Yama, Varuṇa, Nirṛti, Vāyu and other guardians of the deities [i.e., dikpati] are under his control. None of them is ever independent. All serve him in the manner of human beings accompanied by their followers. Being harassed by him, the gods have become subservient of him. They are engaged in carrying out his wishes. All of us are his servants. [...]”.
