Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationGirīndrajā (गिरीन्द्रजा) refers to the “daughter of the lord of mountains” and is used to describe Pārvatī, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.29 (“Śivā-Śiva dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Pārvatī: “[...] O daughter of the mountain, I will not go up to Himavat your father. I will not become a mendicant and beg of him for you. O daughter of the lord of mountains (girīndrajā), even a weighty person endowed with great qualities, even a noble soul, is considered base immediately after uttering the words—‘Please give me’. O benevolent lady, after knowing this what is it that you say is our duty? Gentle lady, do as you wish”.
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.
