Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationLokaka (लोकक) [=loka?] refers to the “(three) worlds”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.28 (“Description of the fraudulent words of the Brahmacārin”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Pārvatī after revealing his form: “[...] Even in the three worlds (tri-lokaka) I do not see a beloved like you. O Pārvatī, in every respect I am subservient to you. You can fulfil all your desires. O beloved, come on near me. You are my wife. I am your bridegroom. I shall immediately go to my abode—the excellent mountain, along with you”.
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.
