Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationRājakāryakara (राजकार्यकर) refers to “one (i.e., royal office) who carries out the behests of someone else”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.6 (“Prayer to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Śiva: “[...] O lord, you are the emperor of all deities, the lord of all. Viṣṇu and the entire universe constitute your retinue. Viṣṇu is your heir-apparent, O unborn one, I, Brahmā, am your priest and Śukra who carries out your behests (rājakāryakara) is the Royal officer [rājakāryakaraḥ śakrastvadājñāpari pālakaḥ]. The other gods too, O lord, are subjects to your control. They continue to perform their own duties. True. It is undoubtedly true. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
