Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDattvā (दत्त्वा) refers to “giving (one’s daughter)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.31 (“Description of Śiva’s magic”).—Accordingly, as the Gods though amongst themselves: “If the mountain were to give his daughter to Śiva with single-minded devotion he will attain salvation immediately and will disappear from Bhārata. [...] He will cast off his immobile aspect and assume a divine form. He will give his daughter (dattvā) to the Trident bearing deity and will go to Śiva’s region. He will undoubtedly attain mergence into lord Śiva. having enjoyed pleasures there, he will attain salvation. [...]”.

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.
