Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVedikopari (वेदिकोपरि) refers to the “(sacrificial) platform”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.26 (“Pārvatī-Jaṭila dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “When those sages returned to their abodes, lord Śiva, the cause of great enjoyment and protection wanted to test the penance of the goddess. [...] He took the form of a very old man with the body of a Brahmin. His brilliance shone. He was delighted in mind. He had an umbrella and a staff (to support Him). There He saw the goddess surrounded by her maids on the platform [i.e., vedikopari], as pure as the digit of the moon. [...]”.
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.
