Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMeghagambhīra (मेघगम्भीर) refers to a “thundering voice”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.17 (“The fight between Viṣṇu and Jalandhara”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] Then a great battle ensued between Viṣṇu and Jalandhara, the ruler of Asuras, both filling up the sky with their arrows. [...] Then he the foremost among the magic-wielders assumed a delightful aspect. He addressed the king of Asuras in a thundering voice (meghagambhīra). [...]”.
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.
