Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBrahmaputraka (ब्रह्मपुत्रक) refers to the “son of Brahmā” and is used to describe Sanatkumāra, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.13 (“Resuscitation of Indra”).—Accordingly, as Vyāsa said to Sanatkumāra: “O holy lord, son of Brahmā [e.g., Brahmaputraka], it has been heard by me before that the lord Śiva killed the great Asura Jalandhara. O intelligent one, please narrate the story of the moon-crested lord in detail. Who can be satiated with listening to the spotless glory of the lord?”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
