Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKaṣṭanivāraka (कष्टनिवारक) refers to “that which ward off (all sorts of) pain”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.2 (“The birth of Śiva’s son”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Agni: “O Agni, listen to my words that will dispel your burning sensation. It will yield great pleasure and ward off your pains (sarva-kaṣṭanivāraka). O Agni, taking recourse to the following expedient you will be relieved of the burning sensation and be happy. O dear, this has been explained by me well at the will of Śiva. O Agni, you shall deposit this semen of Śiva in the bodies of the ladies who take their morning baths in the month of Māgha”.
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.
