Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPrahṛṣṭa (प्रहृष्ट) refers to a “delightful (heart)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.18. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] then Dakṣa, my son, knelt before me, his father, with pleasure and said—‘O lord, the marriage rites shall be performed by you’. Saying ‘Amen’ I got up with a delightful heart (prahṛṣṭa) and performed the preliminary rites”.
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.
