Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀnanāmṛta (आननामृत) refers to the “nectar of the beauty of someone’s face”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.7 (“The gods pray”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “On being eulogised by the gods, the goddess Pārvatī full of wonderful enthusiasm spoke lovingly to her lord, an expert in different kinds of sports. The goddess said:—‘O lord, see the sportive six-faced Kārttikeya, refulgent like the sun our excellent son embellished by excellent ornaments’—Thus addressed by the mother of the worlds with pleasing words, Lord Śiva was never satiated in drinking nectar of the beauty of Skanda’s face (ānanāmṛta)”.
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.
