Ekādaśakoṭi (एकादशकोटि) refers to “eleven crores (of Gaṇas)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.40 (“The Marriage Procession of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Rudra’s sister Caṇḍī assuming a great festive mood came there with great pleasure but inspiring terror in others. [...] The divine Bhūta attendants were crores and crores in number. They shone in diverse forms. Accompanied by them Caṇḍī of deformed face went ahead gladly and enthusiastically. She was equally competent to please and to harass. All the Gaṇas of Śiva numbering to eleven crores (ekādaśakoṭī—koṭyekādaśasaṃkhyākā), terrible but favourites of Śiva were kept by her far behind. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
