Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationTrilokastha (त्रिलोकस्थ) refers to the “inhabitants of the (three) worlds”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.15 (“Gaṇeśa’s battle”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] At the bidding of Śiva they all desired to kill Gaṇeśa. Lifting up their weapons in a suitable manner they came there from all directions. Whatever weapon they had was hurled on Gaṇeśa with force. There was a great hue and cry in all the three worlds consisting of the mobile and immobile. The inhabitants of the worlds (trilokastha) were in a great fix and uncertainty. [...]”.
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.
