Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKararekhā (कररेखा) refers to the “lines in the palm (of one’s hand)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.8.—Accordingly, Nārada said to Himavat:—“O lord of mountains, listen to my words with affability. They are true. They cannot be false. The lines in the palm [i.e., kararekhā] are the lines of Brahmā. They cannot be untrue. O lord of mountains, there is no doubt that her husband will be such a person. You now hear what you have to do whereby you will be happy. There is a bridegroom like that. He is lord Śiva who has sportively assumed a physical form. In Him all bad characteristics are equal to good characteristics. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
