Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMuninātha (मुनिनाथ) refers to a “great sage”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] Seeing the agitated lady [Vṛndā] followed by the demons the sage drove them back with a loud bellowing sound of ‘Hum’. O sage, seeing them routed and terrified by the mere Huṃkāra, the wife of the king of Daityas was struck with a great wonder in her heart. Freed from the fear she bowed down to the great sage (muninātha) with palms joined in reverence and prostrated herself in front of him. Vṛndā then spoke. [...]”.
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.
