Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationGirijāmada (गिरिजामद) refers to the “pride of Pārvatī”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.9.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Sage Nārada:—“[...] Burning Kāma there by His fiery eye, on remembering my words, the lord became angry with me and vanished from the scene. After sometime, Lord Śiva quelled the pride of Pārvatī [i.e., girijāmada] but he was propitiated by her again performing great penance. Following the conventions of the world, the lord married Pārvatī after being sponsored by Viṣṇu. Then everything auspicious ensued. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
