Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMeghotsuka (मेघोत्सुक) refers to one that is “fond of 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. [...] The sweet and delightful sounds of the Cātaka birds that are fond of clouds [viz., meghotsuka] fall upon the way-farers like the arrows of rain-showers causing incessant pain”.
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.
