Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Wisdom Library: Varāha-purāṇaGirisutā (गिरिसुता) is the name of a beautiful damsel (kanyā), with black curly hair and red lips, according to the Varāhapurāṇa chapter 92. Girisutā (and other innumerable ladies) arose out of the agitation of Vaiṣṇavī while she was doing penance at Viśālā. For these young women, Vaiṣṇavī created the city Devīpura, containing numerous mansions with golden balconies, crystal stairs and water fountains, with jewelled windows and gardens.
Vaiṣṇavī is the form of Trikalā having a red body representing the energy of Viṣṇu. Trikalā is the name of a Goddess born from the combined looks of Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara (Śiva).
The Varāhapurāṇa is categorised as a Mahāpurāṇa, and was originally composed of 24,000 metrical verses, possibly originating from before the 10th century. It is composed of two parts and Sūta is the main narrator.
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationGirisutā (गिरिसुता) refers to the “the daughter of Himācala”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.1.—Accordingly, as Nārada asked Brahmā:—“[...] O Brahmā, how did the goddess Satī, the daughter of Dakṣa who forsook her body in her father’s sacrifice, become the daughter of Himācala (i.e., girisutā), and the mother of the universe? How could she secure Śiva as her husband after performing a severe penance? Please explain this clearly to me who ask you about it”.
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.
