Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationGirijānāyaka (गिरिजानायक) refers to the “husband of Pārvatī” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.51 (“The resuscitation of Kāma”).—Accordingly, after the Gods eulogised Śiva: “Eulogising thus, Viṣṇu and others joyously served lord Śiva, the husband of Pārvatī (girijānāyaka) duly, and with great love. O Nārada, Śiva, the lord who had assumed body sportively, granted boons and honour to all present there. O dear one, Viṣṇu and others taking leave of the great lord delightedly returned to their respective places. They were duly honoured and their faces beamed with pleasure”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
