Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationRekhāmātra (रेखामात्र) refers to “merely a speck”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.13 (“The birth of Gaṇeśa”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “[...] The Goddess (Pārvatī) decided that her friend’s suggestion would be conducive to her good and was so enthusiastic. At the time when the incident occurred, Pārvatī, the great Māyā, the great goddess, thought as follows. ‘There must be a servant of my own who will be expert in his duties. He must not stray from my behest even a speck (rekhāmātra)’. [...]”.
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.
