Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Pārvatī (पार्वती) is the wife of Śiva, as mentioned in the Śivapurāṇa-māhātmya chapter 5.—In the Pauranic Mythology, Pārvatī is the daughter of Himālaya and the wife of Śiva. In the cult of Śakti and Tantras, she has been identified with Prakṛti itself. Almost all the Purāṇas speak of her as Prakṛti and her three Guṇas: sattva, rajas and tamas are the three Gods: Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva.

Accordingly, as Cañculā spoke in praise of Umā Pārvatī: “O mother of Skanda, daughter of mountain, Thou art always served by men. O beloved of Śiva, the bestower of all pleasures, having the form of Supreme Brahman, Thou art worthy of being served by Viṣṇu, Brahmā and others. Thou art both endowed with and devoid of attributes. Thou art the subtle primordial Prakṛti, with Existence, Knowledge and Bliss for thy forms. Thou createst, maintainest and annihilatest. Thou hast the three Guṇas. Thou art the refuge of the three types of divine beings. Thou sustainest Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśa”.

Pārvatī was born of Menā after the latter was cursed by Sanatkumāra, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.2.—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra said to the three daughters of Svadhā (i.e., Menā, Dhanyā and Kalāvatī):—“[...] O ye three daughters of forefathers (i.e., Menā), listen with pleasure to my words that will dispel your sorrow and bestow happiness on you.  May the eldest among you become the wife of Himavat the mountain that is a part of Viṣṇu. Pārvatī shall be her daughter. [...] The Yoginī Menā shall attain the great region Kailāsa along with her body and in the company of her husband due to the boon of Pārvatī. [...] Ye the daughters of forefathers (i.e., Menā) shall shine in heaven. By the vision of Viṣṇu your evil actions have been quelled. [...] Menā’s daughter, goddess Pārvatī, the mother of the universe shall become Śiva’s beloved after performing severe penance”.

Pārvatī is the wife of Śiva, according to the Bhaviṣya Purāṇa (3.14.22ff.), when the gods approached Śiva requesting him to marry Pārvatī in order to beget a son equal to the task of slaying Tāraka, Śiva protested his inability to comply on account of his chastity vow, and on account of the Goddess being the universal mother. For the sake of the gods, however, he was willing to devolve his vīrya to Agni, which would do the needful on his behalf.

Shilpashastra (iconography)

Source: Red Zambala: Hindu Icons and Symbols | Devi

Pārvatī (पार्वती) is a gentle benevolent goddess, daughter of the axial mountain — the Himalaya, from which the earth energy radiates into space. The mountain (parvata) or Himavat (“the snow-capped-one”) is a symbol of ether — Ākāśa.

The peaks of the mountains are regarded as the places from which the earth energy flows into the ether. No dwellings are built on top of mountains and hills and only places of worship may be built there.

The mother of Pārvatī is Menakā, who represents intellect (buddhi). Born of Ether and Intellect, Pārvatī is the omnipresent conscious substance of the universe. Pārvatī is also the matron of all the elemental spirits — the bhūtas and gaṇas (‘categories’) that wander about the earth.

She is Māyā and Śiva is Māyin. She is called Nityā, Ādimadhyāntarahitā, Nityānandā etc. She is inseparably connected with Śiva just as the power of burning is connected with fire; with her Śiva creates, protects and destroys the universe.

Accordingly,

“[...] After making [the two rows of Vidyādhara-cities], many villages and suburbs, they established communities [viz., the Pārvatas] according to the suitability of place. [...] Dharaṇendra instructed them about the law as follows: ‘If any insolent persons show disrespect or do injury to the Jinas, or the Jinas’ shrines, or to those who will attain mokṣa in this birth, or to any ascetics engaged in pratimā, the Vidyās [viz., Pārvatīs] will abandon them at once, just as wealth abandons lazy people.
