Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMuktyartha (मुक्त्यर्थ) refers to “those who desire salvation”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.6 (“Prayer to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “Obeisance to you, the soul of all, obeisance to Śiva the remover of distress, [...] You shall be requested for salvation (muktyartha) by the Yogins, the formost among those who know the theory of Yoga. You are stationed inside the lotus like heart of the Yogins. The Vedas and the saintly men speak of you as the supreme Brahman. You are a heaped mass of splendour and greater than the greatest. They call you the great principle. [...]”.
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.
