Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationCiraṃjīvitva (चिरंजीवित्व) refers to “longevity” [?] (given by Pārvatī), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.5 (“Kārttikeya is crowned”).—Accordingly, after the Kṛttikās spoke to Kārttikeya: “[...] Then Śiva, the lord of the universe, following the worldly convention delightedly placed Kārttikeya on a beautiful gemset throne. [...] The ocean of milk gave him valuable gems and a splendid anklet set with gems. Himavat gave him divine ornaments and garments. Garuḍa gave him his own son Citrabarhaṇa; Aruṇa a powerful cock Tāmracūḍa. Pārvatī gave him power and prosperity smilingly and joyously. She gave him longevity (ciraṃjīvitva) too with great pleasure [mahāprītyā ciraṃjīvitvameva]. [...]”.
