Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDurgāsparśa (दुर्गास्पर्श) refers to the “contact with Pārvatī”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.1 (“The dalliance of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “[...] Lord ‘Śiva’ the bestower of honour, indulged in dalliance with Pārvatī for a thousand years of god. In that divine sport at the mere contact with Pārvatī (durgāsparśa) [durgāṃgasparśamātreṇa], Śiva lapsed in unconsciousness. She too lapsed into unconsciousness due to the contact with Śiva. She neither knew the day nor the night. [...]”.
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.
