Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Mahoti (महोति) refers to “great enjoyment”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, after Pārvatī spoke to Śiva: “On hearing these words of Pārvatī, the great lord engaged in the causation of great enjoyment [i.e., mahoti-karaṇa] and protection became delighted. He laughed and said”.
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.
