Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKāmapatnī (कामपत्नी) refers to the “wife of Kāma” and is used to describe Rati, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.19 (“Kāma’s destruction by Śiva”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to the Gods: “After saying this Rudra vanished even as the gods were eulogising Him. The gods became delighted and free from mental suspense. O sage, abiding by the directions of Śiva and consoling Rati by means of the conciliatory words of Śiva, the gods returned to their respective places. O excellent sage, then Rati, the wife of Kāma [i.e., kāmapatnī] went to the city and waited for the time mentioned by Siva”.
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.
