Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSutāvivāha (सुताविवाह) refers to the “marriage of one’s daughter”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.33 (“The appeasement of Himavat”).—Accordingly, as Himavat (Himācala) said to the Seven Sages: “O ye seven sages of great enlightenment, what you have just now said has been already cherished by me by the will of Śiva. Now, a certain Brahmin professing Vaiṣṇava cult came here and spoke very critically about Śiva. Ever since, the mother Pārvatī has gone out of sense. Hences she does not wish her daughter’s marriage (sutāvivāha) with Śiva”.
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.
