Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMeghacchanna (मेघच्छन्न) refers to “covered by the clouds”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.22. Accordingly as Sitā said to Śiva:—“[...] the most unbearable season of the advent of clouds (ghanāgama or jaladāgama) has arrived with clusters of clouds of diverse hues, and their music reverberating in the sky and the various quarters. [...] Covered by the clouds [viz., meghacchanna] neither the sun nor the moon is visible. Even the day appears like the night and it distresses those who are separated from their lovers”.
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.
