Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSvaparvata (स्वपर्वत) refers to “one’s native mountain”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.1 (“The dalliance of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Brahmā: “O Brahmā, after marrying Pārvatī and returning to His mountain (svaparvata) what did Śiva the benefactor of the worlds do? Please narrate it to me. Who was the son born to Śiva, the great soul, for which purpose the lord, though He rests and revels in Himself, married Pārvatī? O Brahmā, the benefactor of the gods, how was Tāraka slain? Please have pity on me and narrate all this in full. [...]”.
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.
