Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKugati (कुगति) refers to “that which brings disastrous results”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.12 (“The Gods go back to their abodes”).—Accordingly, as the gods said to the Muṇḍins: “[...] Since you are the servants of Śiva and have carried out the activities conducive to the welfare of the gods and the sages, no mishap shall ever befall you (kugati) bringing you to distress. Śiva performs deeds conducive to the welfare of the gods and the sages. He is pleased with those who work for the welfare of the gods and sages. No mishap befalls those (kugati) who work for the welfare of the gods and sages. From now onwards in the Kali age those who follow this cult will be faced with disastrous results (kugati). We tell you the truth. There is no doubt about it. [...]”.
