Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation1) Tapassiddhi (तपस्सिद्धि) refers to the “benefit of austerities”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.1.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] O excellent sage, there in the northern region is a mountain called Himavat who is the lord of mountains and has great splendour and prosperity. [...] He is of pure soul, an abode of austerities. He sanctifies even the great souls. He is the bestower of the benefit of austerities (i.e., tapassiddhi-prada). He is the auspicious storehouse of multifarious minerals. He is of a divine form. He is beautiful in every part. He is the unaffected part of Viṣṇu. He is the king of leading mountains and a great favourite of the good”.
2) Tapaḥsiddhi (तपःसिद्धि) refers to the “(personified) achievement of penance” and is used to describe the father of Pārvatī (i.e., Himālaya), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to the seven Sages: “Thus commanded those sages quickly went there where the mother of universe, the brilliant daughter of the mountain, shone with refulgence. There she was seen as the personified achievement of penance itself [i.e., tapaḥsiddhi]. She was shining brilliantly with great splendour. Mentally bowing to her, the seven sages, of good rites, humbly spoke to her after being warmly welcomed and worshipped by her”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
