Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀjñapta (आज्ञप्त) refers to the “bidding” (of one’s superior), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.17 (“The dialogue between Indra and Kāmadeva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Kāma: “[...] Śiva is at present engaged in a great penance. [...] For the sake of gods, at the bidding of her father [i.e., pitṛ-ājñapta], Pārvatī is attending on Him, I hear. O Kāma, you shall certainly do everything necessary to bring about an interest in her in the mind of Śiva who has self-control. You will become contented after this. Your miseries will be destroyed. Your exploit will be permanently established in the world. Not otherwise”.
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.
