Sarvadivaukas (सर्वदिवौकस्) refers to “all the heaven-dwellers”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.41 (“Description of the Altar-Structure”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Indra and others: “The distorted portayal of heaven-dwellers (sarvadivaukas) is something enchanting. He desires to delude the gods in a loving but cunning manner. O lord of Śacī, have you forgotten everything? Formerly you had deluded him. Hence he wishes to surpass you here in the abode of the mountain of noble heart. [...]”.
