Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPūjāgrahaṇa (पूजाग्रहण) refers to “receiving worship”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.19 (“Gaṇapati’s marriage”).—Accordingly, after Gaṇeśa spoke to Śiva and Pārvatī: “On hearing his words, Pārvatī and Śiva sat on the seats for receiving worship (pūjāgrahaṇa). They were worshipped by him and circumambulated seven times and bowed too seven times. Joining his palms in reverence and eulogising his parents agitated by love and affection, many times, Gaṇeśa the ocean of intelligence, spoke thus”.
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.
