Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSvāmivacana (स्वामिवचन) refers to the “words of the lord”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.11 (“The Victory of Kumāra”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The lord Kumāra told Krauñca, the chief of the mountains, ‘Go home fearlessly. That Asura has been slain along with his army’ On hearing the words of the lord (svāmivacana), the delighted lord of the mountains eulogised Kumāra the slayer of his enemy and went back to his abode. O sage, with great pleasure and observing the rules Skanda installed three phallic emblems of Śiva that quell all sins. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
