Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Wisdom Library: Skanda-puranaKalipriya (कलिप्रिय, “strife-lover”) refers to one of the fifty-six vināyakas located at Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), and forms part of a sacred pilgrimage (yātrā), described in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa (Skanda-purāṇa 4.2.57). He is also known as Kalipriyavināyaka, Kalipriyagaṇeśa and Kalipriyavighneśa. These fifty-six vināyakas are positioned at the eight cardinal points in seven concentric circles (8x7). They center around a deity named Ḍhuṇḍhirāja (or Ḍhuṇḍhi-vināyaka) positioned near the Viśvanātha temple, which lies at the heart of Kāśī, near the Gaṅges. This arrangement symbolises the interconnecting relationship of the macrocosmos, the mesocosmos and the microcosmos.
Kalipriya is positioned in the Southern corner of the fifth circle of the kāśī-maṇḍala. According to Rana Singh (source), his shrine is located at “Manahprakameshvara Temple, D 10/ 50”. Worshippers of Kalipriya will benefit from his quality, which is defined as “the reliever from conflicts and proud”. His coordinates are: Lat. 25.18610, Lon. 83.00539 (or, 25°11'10.0"N, 83°00'19.4"E) (Google maps)
Kalipriya, and the other vināyakas, are described in the Skandapurāṇa (the largest of the eighteen mahāpurāṇas). This book narrates the details and legends surrounding numerous holy pilgrimages (tīrtha-māhātmya) throughout India. It is composed of over 81,000 metrical verses with the core text dating from the before the 4th-century CE.

He is celebrated as a divine sage and is associated with another sage Parvata. He is represented as the messenger from the Gods to men and vice versa and as being very fond of promoting discords among Gods and men; hence he is called Kalipriya.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
