Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationGehāveśa (गेहावेश) refers to “entering the house”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.15 (“Gaṇeśa’s battle”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Brahmā: “O Brahmā, listen. A boy is standing at the entrance to my house. He is very strong. He has a staff in his hand. He prevents me from entering the house (gehāveśa-nivāraka). He strikes very dexterously. He has destroyed many of my Pārṣadas. He has forcefully defeated my Gaṇas. O Brahmā, you alone should go there. This strong boy shall be propitiated. O Brahmā, you shall do everything to bring him under control”.
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.
