Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPrabhāṣin (प्रभाषिन्) refers to “one who speaks” (the truth), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.19 (“Gaṇapati’s marriage”).—Accordingly, after Gaṇeśa spoke to Śiva and Pārvatī: “Saying thus, Gaṇeśa of excellent intellect, of great wisdom and foremost among intelligent persons assumed silence. On hearing his words, Pārvatī and Śiva, the rulers of the universe, were very much surprised. Then, Śiva and Pārvatī praised their son who was clever and intelligent and spoke to him who had spoken the truth (yathārtha-prabhāṣin)”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
