Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationParvatādhipa (पर्वताधिप) refers to the “lord of mountains”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Himācala (i.e., Himālaya): “O lord of mountains, here itself on your beautiful excellent ridge, I shall perform my penance showing to the world my real blissful form and nature. O lord of mountains [i.e., parvatādhipa], permission shall be given to me to perform penance. Without your permission it is not possible for me (or any one else) to perform any penance here”.
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.
