Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationYajñabhaṅga (यज्ञभङ्ग) refers to a “broken sacrifice”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.41.—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu and others eulogized Śiva:—“[...] O righteous one, how is it that the sacrifice has been broken (i.e., yajñabhaṅga) by you? O great God, you are a benefactor of brahmins. O lord, how can you be a destroyer of sacrificers? You are the protector of virtue, brahmins and cows. O lord, you are the shelter for all living beings and worthy of being bowed to”.
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.
