Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMaṅgalakarman (मङ्गलकर्मन्) refers to the “(customary) auspicious rites”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.50 (“Description of fun and frolic”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The ladies in the city of the mountain then took Śiva and Pārvatī to the abode of Kubera. [...] The ladies of the city of Himavat approached them and performed the customary auspicious rites (maṅgalakarman—nirvṛtya maṅgalaṃ karma). Shouting cries of victory they untied the knot. They were smiling and ogling at one another with hairs standing on their ends due to pleasure. [...]”.
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.
