Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationGṛhītaparigha (गृहीतपरिघ) refers to “seizing the iron club” (in battle), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.15 (“Gaṇeśa’s battle”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] While I said thus, O brahmin, the heroic Gaṇeśa, the boy of great valour uncommon to the boys took up the iron club. On seeing the powerful Gaṇeśa seizing the iron club (gṛhītaparigha) I began to run away immediately. The others too who were shouting “Go, Go” were struck down with the iron club. Some fell themselves and some were felled by him. Some of them fled to Śiva in a trice and intimated to him the details of the incident. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
