Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationRomadvāra (रोमद्वार) refers to “(entered one’s body through the) pores of hairs”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.2 (“The birth of Śiva’s son”).—Accordingly, after Nārada spoke to Agni: “[...] O sage, the six ladies stubbornly insisted on going there to ward off their chillness because they were deluded by Śiva’s magical art. Immediately the particles of the semen entered their bodies through the pores of hairs (romadvāra), O sage. The fire was relieved of their burning sensation. Vanishing immediately from the scene, Agni in the form of a flame, went back happily to his region, mentally remembering you and Śiva. [...]”.
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.
