Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAṃśarūpin (अंशरूपिन्) or Aṃśarūpiṇī refers to a “part of one’s form”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.20. Accordingly as Brahmā said to Śiva:—“[...] on hearing these words of mine, Śiva was pleased and He said ‘Let it be so’. This made me very happy. Śiva said:—‘O, for the benefits of the people, I shall stay in this altar, with my wife Satī, in accordance with your words of request’. After saying this, the lord Śiva in the company of his wife stayed in the middle of the altar creating a partial image (mūrti) of Himself (aṃśarūpin)”.
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.
