Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDevakāryakarī (देवकार्यकरी) refers to “one who carries out the work of the gods” and is used to describe the Goddess Śivā (Umā/Durga), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.6.—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogised Goddess Śivā who resided in the womb of Menā:—“O great goddess, O mother of the universe, O achiever of all accomplishments, you alone can carry out the work of the gods [i.e., devakāryakarī]. Hence we bow to you always. O you favourably disposed to the devotees, do everything conducive to the happiness of the Gods. You have fulfilled the desire of Menā. Now, you fulfil that of Śiva”.
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.
