Svargacyuta (स्वर्गच्युत) refers to “being dropped from heaven”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.1 (“Description of Tripura—the three cities).—Accordingly, after Maya built the three cities: “[...] The cities were embellished with many trees in the well-laid out gardens and parks as if they had dropped from heaven (svargacyuta). There were beautiful tanks, lakes, wells, rivers and huge ponds. They were very beautiful with plenty of fruit-bearing trees. The cities were decorated with camps and tents of various sizes and chariots with beautiful horses. There were herds of elephants in rut too. [...]”.
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.
