Jayasaṃrāva (जयसंराव) refers to “cries of ‘victory’”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.48 (“Description of Marriage of Śiva and Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Śiva grasped the lotus-like hand of Pārvatī in his hand repeating the Vedic mantras. Lord Śiva was greatly delighted. Touching the ground and showing the worldly course of action, O sage, Śiva recited the mantra. There was a great jubilation everywhere that gladdened everyone. Cries of ‘Victory’ (jayasaṃrāva) rose up in the heaven, the earth and the sky. The delighted people shouted ‘Well done’ and ‘Obeisance to you’. The Gandharvas sang sweetly with pleasure. The celestial damsels danced. [...]”.
