Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBhavitavya (भवितव्य) refers to “that which is bound to happen”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.33 (“The appeasement of Himavat”).—Accordingly, as Vasiṣṭha said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] On being requested by the gods, the lord has sent us, the sages and Arundhatī to you. O mountain, we instruct you plainly. By giving Pārvatī to Śiva you will meet with great bliss. O lord of mountains, even if you do not give Pārvatī to Śiva out of your own free will, their marriage will take place (bhavitavya) as a result of the inexorable workings of fate. [...]”
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.
