Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationNikhilakarman (निखिलकर्मन्) refers to “all activities”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.35 (“The story of Padmā and Pippalāda”).—Accordingly, as Padmā (wife of sage Pippalāda) said to Dharma: “O Dharma, you are the ever present witness of all activities (nikhilakarman). O lord, why did you deign to deceive me to know my mind? O Dharma, what has been done already does not amount to any guilt on my part. You have been cursed in vain by me but it was due to my ignorance and innate nature of woman. I am now thinking as to what shall be done about it. May that idea strike me whereby I may get peace. [...]”.
