Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationNirmiti (निर्मिति) refers to the “creation (of the Chariot)” (built by Viśvakarman), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.7 (“The gods pray”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “O sage Vyāsa, of great intellect, listen to the description of the structure of (nirmiti) the chariot etc which I shall give to the extent of my intellect after remembering the lotus-like feet of Śiva. The divine chariot of lord Śiva consisting of all the worlds was built by Viśvakarman with devoted effort. It was appreciated by all. It was golden in colour and all the elements had gone into its making. The right wheel was the sun and the left wheel was the moon. [...]”.
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.
