Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Vidhāyin (विधायिन्) (Cf. Vidhāyinī) refers to “one who has achieved”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.6.—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogised Goddess Śivā who resided in the womb of Menā:—“O great goddess, O mother of the universe, O achiever of all accomplishments [i.e., sarvasiddhi-vidhāyinī], you alone can carry out the work of the gods. Hence we bow to you always. O you favourably disposed to the devotees, do everything conducive to the happiness of the Gods. You have fulfilled the desire of Menā. Now, you fulfil that of Śiva”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
