Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDṛḍhabandha (दृढबन्ध) [=Dṛḍhabandhana?] refers to “that which binds firmly” (i.e., ‘marriage’), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Viṣṇu: “O Viṣṇu, O Brahmā, O gods, all of you please hear with attention. I am going to say a specific thing in a suitable manner. Marrying is not a proper thing for men. Marriage is a great fetter that binds firmly [i.e., dṛḍhabandhana]. There are many base bondages in the world. Association with women is the toughest of all. One can free oneself from all bondages except that of women. [...]”.
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.
