Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKāmitā (कामिता) refers to the “lover’s humour”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.43.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] lovingly honoured by Dakṣa, the great lord Śiva, the goal of the good, returned to Kailāsa along with his Gaṇas. He was greatly delighted. After returning to his mountain, Śiva remembered His beloved Satī and mentioned her story to the most important of his Gaṇas. Narrating her story, lord Śiva passed many days. He then evinced the lover’s humour (kāmitā) according to the conventions of the world”.
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.
