Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMahāduḥkhī (महादुःखी) refers to “one who is much distressed”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.4.—Accordingly, as Umā (Durgā/Satī) spoke to the Gods:—“[...] Ever since I cast off my body born of Dakṣa on seeing my lord’s disrespect at the hands of my father at the altar of sacrifice, my lord Rudra is tormented by thoughts about me. [...] On account of me he was much distressed [i.e., mahāduḥkhī]. He put on an abnormal dress. Ever since he forsook the excellent pleasure of love. [...]”.
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.
