Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDuḥkhakara (दुःखकर) refers to “that which brings pain”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, as Menā said to her daughter (Pārvatī): “O wretched daughter, what is it that you have done? This is extremely painful (duḥkhakara) to me. You have given gold and brought a glass piece, O wicked girl. You have cast away sandal paste and smeared yourself with mud. You have driven away the swan and have held a crow in your hands. Setting aside the sacred river water you have drunk the well-water. Losing the sun you have clung to the glowworm in all earnestness. [...]”.
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.
