Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVṛṣendrarūpin (वृषेन्द्ररूपिन्) refers to “Viṣṇu’s form of a lordly bull”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.9 (“Śiva’s campaign”).—Accordingly, after Śiva mounted his divine chariot: “[...] The horses constituted by the Vedas fell headlong to the ground. The earth quaked. The mountains became tremulous. Śeṣa, unable to bear his weight, became distressed and soon began to tremble. Lord Viṣṇu assumed the form of a lordly bull (vṛṣendrarūpin) and went under the chariot. He lifted it up and steadied it for a short while. But in another instant, unable to bear the weighty splendour of lord Śiva seated in the chariot, the lordly bull had to kneel down and crawl on the ground. [...]”
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.
