Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationCaraṇāmbuja (चरणाम्बुज) refers to “(one having) lotus-like feet”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.11 (“The Victory of Kumāra”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “O sage, in the meantime the mountain Krauñca, harassed by Bāṇa came there and sought refuge in Kumāra. This Bāṇa had been fleeing from the previous battle, unable to bear the brilliance of the lord. He with the army of ten thousand persons, inflicted pain on Krauñca with the tip of his missiles. The mountain Krauñca devoutly bowed at the lotuslike feet (caraṇāmbuja) of Kumāra and eulogised him with reverence with words full of love. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
