Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Snehānvita (स्नेहान्वित) refers to “being filled with love”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.5 (“Kārttikeya is crowned”).—Accordingly, after the Kṛttikās spoke to Kārttikeya: “[...] Kumāra reached the foot of a Nyagrodha tree at Kailāsa in the fast chariot along with Nandin seated to his right. [...] Viṣṇu, Indra and I as well as the gods prostrated on the ground and went round Kumāra. In the meantime Śiva, and Pārvatī highly delighted and jubilant came there and saw their son. On seeing his son, the great lord Śiva, the sole kinsman of the universe along with the great goddess Pārvatī was filled with pleasure and love (snehānvita)—the lord who wore snakes on his body and was surrounded by the Pramathas. [...]”.
