Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKrauñcaparvata (क्रौञ्चपर्वत) is the name of a mountain, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.20 (“The celebration of Gaṇeśa’s marriage”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Naradā: “O Nārada, following the mental process (manogati) of lord Śiva, you spoke these words to Kumāra and then kept quiet. After bowing to his father, the infuriated Skanda went to the Krauñca mountain (krauñcaparvata) though forbidden by his parents.—‘Even when forbidden by us why do you go?’—Although he was prevented by saying this, he went away saying ‘No; O parents, I shall not stay here even a moment when deception has been practised on me eschewing affection towards me’.”.
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.
