Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Śivasantoṣakāraṇa (शिवसन्तोषकारण) refers to “that which causes Śiva to be satisfied”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.55 (“Śiva returns to Kailāsa”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “O dear, I have thus narrated the auspicious story of the marriage of Śiva, that dispels sorrow, generates delight and increases wealth and longevity. [...]  It shall be read on all occasions of Śiva’s festivals by the people who desire auspicious results. It gives satisfaction to Śiva (śivasantoṣakāraṇa). At the installation of the idols of the deities this shall be particularly read. At the beginning of all auspicious rites it shall be read with pleasure. With purity in mind and body it shall be heard. All affairs become fruitful thereby. This is true, really true. [...]”.
