Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationNiṣūdin (निषूदिन्) [?] refers to “one who causes destruction”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.13 (“Resuscitation of Indra”).—Accordingly, as Bṛhaspati eulogized Śiva: “Obeisance to Śiva, the chief lord of the gods, the supreme soul, the three-eyed, possessed of matted hair. Obeisance to the succouring lord of the distressed, the destroyer (niṣūdin) of Andhaka [namoṃ'ndhakaniṣūdine] and the Tripuras, and identical with Brahmā, the Parameṣṭhin. Obeisance to Śiva of odd eyes, of diverse, deformed and surpassing features, going beyond all forms. [...]”.
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.
