Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSūdana (सूदन) refers to “destruction”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.4 (“Search for Kārttikeya and his conversation with Nandin”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “On hearing their words, the destroyer (sūdana) of Pura became glad. In his joy he gave monetary gifts to the Brahmins. On receiving the news of her son, Pārvatī was delighted. She distributed a crore of gems and much wealth among the Brahmins. Lakṣmī, Sarasvatī, Menā, Sāvitrī and all other women, Viṣṇu and all other gods gave much wealth to the Brahmins”.
