Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDāhavivarjita (दाहविवर्जित) refers to “being relieved of one’s burning sensation”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.2 (“The birth of Śiva’s son”).—Accordingly, after Nārada spoke to Agni: “[...] The wives of the sages cast off their semen in the form of a foetus at the top of Himavat. They felt then relieved of their burning sensation (dāhavivarjita). Unable to bear that semen of Śiva and trembling much, Himavat became scorched by it and hurled it in the Gaṅgā. O great sage, the intolerable semen of lord Śiva was deposited by Gaṅgā in the forest of Śara grass by means of its waves. [...]”.
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.
