Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPūrvagati (पूर्वगति) refers to “antecedents”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.3.—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Brahmā:—“[...] O Brahmā, the best of eloquent ones, of great wisdom, please tell me. What is the subsequent story of the good auspicious mountain? You have narrated the wonderful story of the auspicious antecedents (i.e., pūrvagati) of Menā. The details of the marital rites too are heard. Please continue the subsequent narrative”.
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.
