Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Sarvaprabhu (सर्वप्रभु) refers to the “lord of all” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.1 (“The dalliance of Śiva”).—Accordingly, after the Gods spoke to Lord Viṣṇu: “[...] After going there in the company of the gods and me, the favourite deity of the gods went to the excellent resort of Śiva with a desire to see Śiva. Unable to see Him there, Viṣṇu and the gods became surprised. With humility he asked the Gaṇas of Śiva who were there. [Viṣṇu said]:—‘O Gaṇas of Śiva, where has Śiva, the lord of all (sarvaprabhu) gone? Sympathetically intimate this to us who are depressed’”.
