Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationNārāyaṇājñā (नारायणाज्ञा) refers to “Viṣṇu’s command”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.52 (“The bridegroom’s party is fed and Śiva retires to bed”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Viṣṇu and the other gods got up with joy, remembered the lord of gods and excitedly got ready. They got their vehicles ready for the departure to Kailāsa and sent Dharma to Śiva. At the bidding of Viṣṇu (nārāyaṇājñā), Dharma went near the bed chamber. The Yogin Dharma addressed Śiva, the lord of Yogins, in a manner befitting the context. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
