Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationGirijāpati (गिरिजापति) refers to the “bridegroom of Pārvatī”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.43 (“Description of Śiva’s wonderful sport”).—Accordingly, as Menā said to Nārada: “O sage, I shall first see the bridegroom of Pārvatī (girijāpati). Let me have an idea of the form and features of Śiva for which she performed the great penance”.
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.

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
