Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Svargati (स्वर्गति) refers to the “heavenly abode”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.2.—Accordingly, after being cursed the three sisters of Svadhā said to Sanaka/Sanatkumāra:—“[...] O excellent sage, ocean of mercy, be pleased now. Because we were mentally confounded we did not bow to you. O Brahmin, the result thereof has been achieved by us. O great sage it is not your fault. Bless us now whereby we shall regain heavenly abode again (i.e., svargati-punar)”.
