Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationYogivara (योगिवर) refers to the “foremost of Yogins” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.33 (“The appeasement of Himavat”).—Accordingly, the Seven Sages said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] Śiva, the foremost of Yogins (yogivara—yogināṃ varaḥ) was not eager to marry. But since requested by Brahmā, the lord agreed to take your daughter. Pārvatī performed a penance and the lord promised her. Thus for these two reasons the lord of Yogins wishes to marry 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. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
