Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJñānihṛd (ज्ञानिहृद्) refers to the “heart of the wise”, which is where dwells Śiva, according the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.15. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] On arrival there, after paying respects to the lord [Śiva] with great excitement we lauded Him with various hymns with palms joined in reverence. The Devas said: [...] Obeisance to Thee, O great lord whose fiery heat of knowledge is latent in the sacrificial churning rod for the production of fire of three attributes. Obeisance to Thee whose form is beyond the reach of fools and who livest (vāsin) for ever in the heart of the wise (jñānihṛd)”.
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.
