Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDīnabandha (दीनबन्ध) refers to “distressed persons”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.51 (“The resuscitation of Kāma”).—Accordingly, as Rati said to Śiva: “[...] O lord Śiva, in the great festival of your marriage, all people are happy. I alone am unhappy without my husband. O lord, make me possessed of my husband. O Śiva, be pleased. O lord, friend of the distressed [dīnabandha—tvaṃ dīnabandho para prabho], please make your words true. Excepting you, who is there in the three worlds including the mobile and immobile creatures who can destroy my sorrow. Knowing this, be merciful. [...]”.
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.
