Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationTrilokakāraṇa (त्रिलोककारण) refers to the “cause of the three worlds ” and is used to describe Śiva, in the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.15. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] On arrival there, after paying respects to the lord [Śiva] with great excitement we lauded Him with various hymns with palms joined in reverence. The Devas said: [...] Obeisance, obeisance to Thee, the cause of the three worlds (Trilokakāraṇa) and salvation. Obeisance to the quick bestower of liberation, and deliverer of those who seek refuge”.
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.
