Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJīvitum (जीवितुम्) refers to “staying alive”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “The infuriated Gaṇas of Śiva at his bidding went there and questioned the son of Pārvatī who stood at the gate. Śiva’s Gaṇas said:—‘Who are you? Whence do you come? What do you propose to do? If you have a desire to remain alive (jīvitum) go away from here’”.
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.
