Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDānakarma (दानकर्म) refers to “marriage” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.31 (“Description of Śiva’s magic”).—Accordingly, as Śiva (in disguise of a Brahmin) said to the Lord of Mountains: “I have come to know that you desire to give your daughter to Śiva, [...] O mountain, this inclination of yours is not at all conducive to auspiciousness. O foremost among the wise, born of Nārāyaṇa’s family, learn sense. For the marriage of Pārvatī (dānakarman—pārvatīdānakarmaṇi), He is not at all a deserving person. On hearing of this, the general public will smile in derision. [...]”.
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.
