Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVāditraghoṣa (वादित्रघोष) refers to the “sound of musical instruments”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.47 (“The ceremonious entry of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] On realising that the auspicious time for the marriage rites had been intimated by Garga, the mountain rejoiced much. With the desire to bring Śiva there, the mountain gladly sent mountains, Brahmins and others. The mountains and Brahmins with auspicious holy objects in their hands jubilantly went to the place where lord Śiva stood. Then the sound of the Vedic chants, musical instruments (vāditraghoṣa), songs and dances jubilantly arose there. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
