Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationNijapurī (निजपुरी) refers to “one’s own city”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.42 (“Description of the meeting of the Lord and the Mountain”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “On hearing that the all-pervading Śiva had come very near his city (nijapurī), the lord of mountains Himavat rejoiced much. Then, gathering all the requisite things he sent mountains and the brahmins to welcome Siva. With his mind melting with devotion and joyously praising his luck, the mountain personally went to see Śiva as dear as the very vital air. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
