Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKailāsakudhara (कैलासकुधर) refers to the “mountain Kailāsa”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.39 (“The gods arrive at Kailāsa”).—Accordingly: as the Sages performed the safety rites for Śiva: “[...] Then the lord of all started from the excellent mountain Kailāsa keeping the Brahmins and the gods ahead. Outside the mountain Kailāsa [e.g., kailāsakudhara], Śiva stopped for a while along with the gods and Brahmins receiving different ovations. Then a great jovial festival was celebrated by the gods and others in order to propitiate Śiva. Songs were sung. Instruments were played. Dances were held”.
