Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMahāsaubhāgya (महासौभाग्य) refers to “one who is very fortunate”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.26 (“Pārvatī-Jaṭila dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Śiva (in guise of a Brahmacārin) said to Pārvatī: “[...] O gentle lady, are you the wife of an ascetic who does not provide you with food and shelter and so leaving you has gone to another place? Tell me, in which family are you born? Who is your father? What are your undertakings? You are very fortunate [i.e., mahāsaubhāgya-rūpā]. Futile is your interest in penance. Are you the mother of the Vedas? Are you Lakṣmī or Sarasvatī? I dare not guess who you are?”.
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.
