: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationñԲ貹īṣa (ज्ञानपरीक्�) refers to “testing someone’s knowledge�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.13 (“Resuscitation of Indra�).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “O sage, on being asked by Indra thus, he did not say anything. Indra asked him again. But the naked person did not say anything. Indra, the supreme lord of the worlds, asked again. The lord the great Yogin who assumes forms variously kept quiet. The naked lord, though asked repeatedly by Indra, did not say anything, for he wanted to test the knowledge of Indra (ś-ñԲ貹īṣa). Then the lord of Gods, proud of the wealth of the three worlds, became enraged. Rebuking the lord with matted hair he spoke these words.—[...]�.

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
