Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSnātum (स्नातुम्) refers to “taking a bath”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.34 (“The Story of Anaraṇya”).—Accordingly, as Vasiṣṭha said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] Thus the good sage spent a long time with his mind utterly agitated by pangs of love. Once while the good sage was on his way to the river Puṣpabhadrā for taking his bath (snātum) he happened to see the young maiden Padmā who was as charming as goddess Lakṣmī. The sage asked the persons standing by—‘Who is this girl?’ The people, afraid of the curse bowed to the sage and replied. [...]”.
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.
