Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDuḥkhavāridhi (दुःखवारिधि) or Duḥkhodadhi refers to the “ocean of distress”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.15:—“[...] Lord Rudra said:—‘O Brahmā, I shall not create the subjects tormented by the fear of birth and death (janmamṛtyu-bhaya-āviṣṭa). The inauspicious beings (aśobhana) are immersed in the ocean of distress (duḥkhavāridhi) by their own actions. In my manifestation in the form of preceptor I shall lift up these beings immersed in the ocean of distress (duḥkhodadhi) by conferring on them perfect knowledge (samyakjñāna). You alone, create all the miserable subjects, O Lord! At my bidding, you will not be bound by illusion (māyā)’.”.
