In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMadanāri (मदनारि) refers to “one who is free from infatuation” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.18 (“The conversation between Nārada and Jalandhara”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Jalandhara: “[...] [Śiva’s] wife Pārvatī is exquisitely beautiful in every limb. She is charming and has all the characteristics of a beautiful lady. [...] Even Śiva reputed to be free from infatuation (madanāri) has been won over by her womanly sports[gatarāgo'pi hi yayā madanārissvalīlayā]. Śiva who is independent has been subjugated by her. The prosperity that he enjoys inasmuch as he indulges in dalliance with the most excellent of all ladies has not come to you O lord of Daityas though you are the master of excellent gems and jewels”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
