Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBhaktitatpara (भक्तितत्पर) refers to “intention to serve one with devotion”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, after Himācala (i.e., Himālaya) spoke to Śiva: “Thus addressed by Himavat, Śiva, the benefactor of the worlds, laughingly permitted him to go. Permitted by Śiva, Himavat returned to his abode along with Pārvatī. He wanted to visit Him daily. Even without her father but accompanied by her maids, Pārvatī approached Śiva everyday for serving Him with devotion [i.e., bhaktitatpara—sevāyai bhaktitatparā]. [...]”.
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.
