Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSukhasparśa (सुखस्पर्श) refers to “that which is gentle to the touch”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.6.—Accordingly, after the Gods eulogised Goddess Śivā who resided in the womb of Menā:—“[...] The earth consisting of forests, villages and oceans was very auspicious. Lotuses blossomed in lakes, rivers and tanks. O excellent sage, diverse winds gentle to the touch [i.e., sukhasparśa] blew; good men rejoiced and bad people became unhappy.. The gods stood in the sky and sounded big drums. A shower of flowers fell. Excellent Gandharvas sang sweet songs. [...]”.
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.
