Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Upadiś (उपदिश्) refers to the “subsidiary quarters”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.8 (“The detailed description of the chariot etc.”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “The divine chariot of lord Śiva consisting of all the worlds was built by Viśvakarman with devoted effort. [...] The forceful and excellent mantras with their syllables and feet, of all characteristic features and the stages in life constituted the tinkling bells. Ananta embellished with thousand hoods constituted its fittings, and the main and subsidiary quarters (upadiś), the pedestals of the chariot [diśaḥ pādā rathasyāsya tathā copadiśaścaha]. [...]”
