Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSarvaratnādhipa (सर्वरत्नाधिप) refers to “one who is the master of excellent gems and jewels” and is used to describe Jalandhara, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.18 (“The conversation between Nārada and Jalandhara”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Jalandhara: “[...] [Śiva’s] wife Pārvatī is exquisitely beautiful in every limb. She is charming and has all the characteristics of a beautiful lady. [...] Even Śiva reputed to be free from infatuation has been won over by her womanly sports. Śiva who is independent has been subjugated by her. The prosperity that he enjoys inasmuch as he indulges in dalliance with the most excellent of all ladies has not come to you O lord of Daityas though you are the master of excellent gems and jewels (sarvaratnādhipa)”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
