Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationHimādri (हिमाद्रि) refers to Himavat (i.e., ‘the lord of mountains’), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.8.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Sage Nārada:—“O excellent sage, being thus requested by Himavat [i.e., Himādri] the lord of mountains, you looked at Kālī’s palm and the limbs as well. O dear, you are wise. You know many facts. You are eloquent in speech. You then spoke”.
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.
