Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationGirijāputra (गिरिजापुत्र) refers to the “son of Pārvatī” and is use to describe Gaṇeśa, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.18 (“Gaṇeśa crowned as the chief of Gaṇas”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Brahmā: “O lord of subjects, when the son of Pārvatī (girijāputra) was resuscitated and seen by the goddess, what happened then? Please narrate to me now”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
