Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSvāśrama (स्वाश्रम) refers to “one’s own household life”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.30 (“The Celebration of Pārvatī’s Return”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “On hearing that Pārvatī was returning, Menā and Himavat excessively delighted went ahead seated in a divine vehicle. [...] O great sage, ladies performed her ceremonial ablution; the brahmins offered benedictions. Himvat and Menakā rejoiced much. Himavat considered his household life (svāśrama) fruitful. A daughter is far better than an ignoble son. He praised you too, Nārada, saying ‘Well done, Well done’. [...]”.
