Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSarvadruma (सर्वद्रुम) refers to “all kinds of trees”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.40.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] on seeing this mountain named Kailāsa, a great favourite of Śiva, Viṣṇu and other devas were surprised along with the excellent sages. [...] Near [Alakā] they saw the sylvan park Saugandhika which contained all kinds of trees (sarvadruma-anvita). The sound originating from it was surprisingly divine. Outskirting it are the two holy rivers Nandā and Alakanandā that quelled sins by their mere sight”.
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.
