Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMārjayat (मार्जयत्) refers to “wiping off” (tears), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.21 (“Nārada instructs Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “[...] On seeing his daughter excessively agitated, the lord of the mountains was sorry. The lord of the mountains approached her gently as she was crying due to her separation from Śiva. Approaching her and wiping off [i.e., mārjayat] her eyes with his hand he said—‘Dear daughter, do not be afraid, do not cry’. He took her on his lap and consoled her. The lord of the mountains took her immediately to his palace. [...]”.
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.
