Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKālīpati (कालीपति) refers to the “father of Pārvatī” and is used to describe Himavat (Himācala), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.47 (“The ceremonious entry of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] In the meantime Garga, a great expert in the science of astrology, spoke to Himavat, the lord of mountains. [Garga said:—] ‘O Himavat, O lord, O father of Pārvatī [e.g. Kālīpati], now fetch Śiva to your palace for the marriage rites’. On realising that the auspicious time for the marriage rites had been intimated by Garga, the mountain rejoiced much. [...]”.
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.
