Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPaśupāśavimokṣa (पशुपाशविमोक्ष) refers to the “liberator of the individual soul from the noose”, and is used to describe Śiva, according the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.15. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] On arrival there, after paying respects to the lord [Śiva] with great excitement we lauded Him with various hymns with palms joined in reverence. The Devas said: [...] Obeisance to the liberator of the individual soul from the noose (Paśupāśavimokṣa); to the bestower of salvation to the devotee, to the self-luminous, the eternal, the unwasting, the incessant knowledge”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
