Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationYajurmantra (यजुर्मन्त्र) refers to “Mantras from the Yajus Veda”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.49 (“The delusion of Brahmā”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “Then at my behest, the lord made the Brahmins kindle the sacrificial fire and performed the homa, placing Pārvatī on the lap. Śiva poured offerings into the fire with Mantras from Ṛk, Yajus [e.g., yajurmantra] and Sāma Vedas. Pārvatī’s brother Maināka offered handfuls of fried grains. Then according to the worldly convention, Pārvatī and Śiva performed the circumambulation round the fire, O dear. [...]”.
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.
