Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationLokaiśvarya (लोकैश्वर्य) refers to the “prosperity of the world”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.13 (“Resuscitation of Indra”).—Accordingly, as Bṛhaspati eulogized Śiva: “[...] With the strength of meditating on you, the clouds, the gods and the great sages carry on their tasks. They are afraid of you. O Śiva, by serving your lotus like feet, the people in the world do not honour the gods and they enjoy the prosperity of the world (lokaiśvarya). By serving your lotus-like feet the people attain the supreme goal inaccessible to every one and unattainable even to Yogins. [...]”.
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.
