Pramuci (प्रमुचि) refers to “becoming free from (sickness)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.20 (“The celebration of Gaṇeśa’s marriage”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...]  Whoever reads, teaches, listens or narrates this story derives all desires. No doubt need be entertained in this respect. A brahmin derives brahminical splendour, a Kṣatriya becomes victorious, a Vaiśya prosperous and a Śūdra attains equality with the good. A sick man becomes free from (pramuci) sickness; a frightened man becomes free from fear; no man is harassed by the visitation of goblins, ghosts etc. [...]”.
