Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVareṇyarūpa (वरेण्यरूप) refers to “one of excellent features” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.23 (“Attempt of Himavat to dissuade Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu said to the Gods and others: “O gods, listen with pleasure and attention to my words. The lord, the destroyer of the fear of gods, will not consume you in fire. Considering Śiva to be benevolent you shall shrewdly seek refuge in Him. We shall all seek refuge in Śiva, the ancient Puruṣa, the lord, of excellent features [i.e., vareṇyarūpa], greater than the greatest, the supreme self, the great one resorting to penance”.
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.
