Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSantoṣakāraṇa (सन्तोषकारण) refers to “that which causes satisfaction”, 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 (santoṣakāraṇa) to Śiva. 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. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
