After conferring with one another, the infuriated Pārṣadas of Śiva replied to Gaṇeśa, the doorkeeper. Śiva’s Gaṇas said:—‘Listen. We are the excellent Gaṇas of Śiva. We are his doorkeepers. We have come here to throw you out (nivārayitum) at the bidding of lord Śiva. [...]’.”.
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.
