Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚaṃbhugaṇa (शंभुगण) refers to the “attendants of Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, after Gaṇeśa obstructed Śiva’s Gaṇas: “Then the Gaṇas of Śiva went to Śiva [i.e., śaṃbhugaṇa] who was standing at the distance of a Krośa from Kailāsa and spoke to him. Śiva ridiculed them all. The trident-armed great lord of fierce temperament spoke to his Gaṇas who professed to be heroes”.
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.
