Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationNṛpeśvara (नृपेश्वर) refers to the “chief of kings” and is used to describe king Anaraṇya, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.33 (“The appeasement of Himavat”).—Accordingly, as Vasiṣṭha said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] All riches can be sacrificed, O lord of mountains, for the sake of a single entity, but the eternal Śruti has it that one should forsake a single entity for the sake of a unit. When danger was imminent at the hands of a Brahmin, the chief of kings (nṛpeśvara), Anaraṇya, saved his entire asset by giving his daughter to him. [...]”.
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.
