Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJagadvidhi (जगद्विधि) refers to the “creator of the universe”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.33 (“The appeasement of Himavat”).—Accordingly, as Menakā said to Arundhatī: “Ha, what a meritorious thing is this! We are blessed. Arundhatī, the daughter-in-law of the Creator of the universe (jagadvidhi), the wife of Vasiṣṭha, has come here. O gentle lady, what for is your visit now? Please tell me specifically. My daughter and I are your slaves. Be merciful to us”.
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.
