Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Prīṇana (प्रीणन) refers to “pleasing” or “satisfying”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.5 (“The Tripuras are fascinated).—Accordingly, as Arihan said to the Lord of the Three Cities: “[...] The Earth is burdened by those who are not ready to please and satisfy (prīṇana) the suppliant [yācamānamanovṛttiprīṇane yasya no janiḥ]. It is not burdened by oceans, mountains and trees. The body is ready to go in a trice, and hoarded things are attended with the risk of dwindling down. Realising this a sensible man shall see to the pleasure of his body. It is mentioned in the Vedas that this body is going to constitute the breakfast for dogs, crows and worms. The body has its ultimate end in being reduced to ashes. [...]”.
