Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJātaharṣa (जातहर्ष) refers to “being glad”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.40 (“The Marriage Procession of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] O great sage, listen to another incident that happened when Śiva, the lord of all, went for his marriage along with the gods and others. Rudra’s sister Caṇḍī assuming a great festive mood came there with great pleasure but inspiring terror in others. She was riding on a ghost. She was bedecked in the ornaments of serpents. A gold pot filled (with water) shone over her head. She was accompanied by her attendants. Her face was beaming. Her eyes dazzled. She was enthusiastic and glad (jātaharṣa). She was strong. [...]”.
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.
