Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVighnavāraṇa (विघ्नवारण) refers to “one who is the warder of obstacles” and is used to describe Kumāra / Kārttikeya (i.e., Śiva’s son), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.6 (“The miraculous feat of Kārttikeya”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin named Nārada said to Kumāra (Kārttikeya): “[...] You are the protector of the three worlds, favourite of those who seek refuge in you. You are the performer and sustainer of sacrifices. You remove those who bring in obstacles. O warder of obstacles (vighnavāraṇa), the cause of the creation of the good in every respect, O son of Īśāna, please make my sacrifices complete. Obeisance be to you. [...]”.
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.
