Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKṛpālutva (कृपालुत्व) refers to the “mercifulness (of Śiva)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.45 (“Śiva’s comely form and the Jubilation of the Citizens”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “In the meantime, O sage, urged by Viṣṇu you went immediately to Śiva to conciliate Him. After reaching there, with a desire to get the task of the gods fulfilled, you pleaded with Śiva after eulogising Him with different kinds of hymns. On hearing your words Śiva joyously assumed a wonderfully excellent and divine form and showed His mercifulness (kṛpālutva). [...]”.
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.
