Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBrahmāṇḍagarimā (ब्रह्माण्डगरिमा) refers to the “weighty universe”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.6 (“The miraculous feat of Kārttikeya”).—Accordingly, after the Brahmin named Nārada spoke to Kumāra (Kārttikeya): “[...] Then [Vīrabāhu] went to Vaikuṇṭha where he saw the powerful goat working havoc with the sacrificial stake tied to its neck. The hero dragged it catching hold of its horns and brought it quickly before his lord even as it was bleating loudly. On seeing it, lord Kārttikeya who could carry the weighty universe (dhṛta-brahmāṇḍagarimā), and the worker of great miracles, quickly rode on it. [...]”.
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.
