Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀjñākārin (आज्ञाकारिन्) refers to “those following orders”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “On hearing the words of Śiva’s servants (ājñākārin) the son of Pārvatī became unhappy and thought:—“What shall I do?’. In the meantime, the goddess heard the noise of this wrangle between the Gaṇas and the doorkeeper, then looked at her friend and spoke:—‘Go and see’. The friend came to the door and saw them for a moment. She understood the whole matter. She was delighted and returned to Pārvatī. O sage, coming back she reported the matter to Pārvatī as it had occurred. [...]”.
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.
