Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSvadāsa (स्वदास) refers to “one’s own slave”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.12.—Accordingly, as Himācala (i.e., Himālaya) said to Śiva: “[...] Please listen to my entreaty with a long heart. I am your slave. O dear lord, in humility I shall explain the same to you. O great god Śiva, by your favour I feel most fortunate. O lord, consider me your slave [i.e., svadāsa] and be sympathetic towards me. Obeisance to you. O lord, I shall be visiting you daily along with my daughter. O lord, be pleased to command me accordingly”.
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.
