Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMaṅgalarūpin (मङ्गलरूपिन्) refers to “one of auspicious features” and is used to describe Menā, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.1.—Accordingly, as the Devas said to the celestial forefathers (Pitṛs):—“[...] O ye forefathers, listen to our words with pleasure. If you desire that the affairs of the gods be fulfilled you must act accordingly soon. Uniting your eldest daughter Menā of auspicious features (i.e., maṅgalarūpin) with Himācala, a great benefit will accrue to everyone. At every step, the miseries of the gods and those of yours as well can be reduced”.
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.
