Paritas (परितस्) refers to the “outskirts” (of a city), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.5 (“Kārttikeya is crowned”).—Accordingly, after the Kṛttikās spoke to Kārttikeya: “[...] Kumāra reached the foot of a Nyagrodha tree at Kailāsa in the fast chariot along with Nandin seated to his right. [...] Pārvatī caused the entire outskirts (paritas) of the city [paritaḥ puram] fully decorated with Padmarāga and other gems. The main highway was rendered beautiful and auspicious. The thirty goddesses Lakṣmī and others stood in front, along with chaste ladies whose husbands and sons were alive and Pārvatī stood ahead of them. [...]”
