Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSnehasaṃkula (स्नेहसंकुल) refers to “being filled with affection”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.10 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Kumāra (Kārttikeya) fought with Tāraka-Asura: “[...] On knowing about the victory of Kārttikeya, Śiva came there joyously with his beloved and the Gaṇas. He took his son on his lap and fondled him with pleasure. Pārvatī in her flutter of affection (snehasaṃkula) took Kumāra, resplendent as the sun, on her lap and fondled him with pleasure. Then Himavat came there along with his sons, kinsmen and servants. He eulogised Śiva and Guha. [...]”.
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.
