Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKumāramūrdhan (कुमारमूर्धन्) refers to “Kumāra’s head”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.7 (“Commencement of the War”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Leaving the elephant to lord Indra, Kumāra got in an aerial chariot of wonderful build and studded with different sets of gems. [...] The lustrous umbrella presented by Varuṇa, shining with various gems was held aloft over his head (kumāramūrdhan). Beams of light as though of infinite moons shed great lustre around. Indra and other gods of great strength, desirous of fighting, joined him with their own divisions of the army. [...]”.
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.
