Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDhyānapatha (ध्यानपथ) refers to the “path of meditation [of the Yogins]”, in which is perceived Goddess Durgā, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.11. Accordingly as Brahmā said to Nārada:—“[...] O sage, seeing her [Durgā] who was Śiva’s Energy herself, directly in front of me, my lofty shoulders bent down with devotion and I eulogised her after due obeisance. [...] Thou art present in everything even in the essential atom (paramāṇusāra) and who art charmingly honoured by Yogins; who art perceivable in the hearts of the Yogins purified by restraints, as well as in the path of their meditation”.
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.
