Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationNagātmā (नगात्मा) refers to the “mountain” and is used to describe the father of Pārvatī (i.e., Himālaya), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.25 (“The seven celestial sages test Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to the seven Sages: “Thus commanded those sages quickly went there where the mother of universe, the brilliant daughter of the mountain [i.e., nagātma-jā], shone with refulgence. There she was seen as the personified achievement of penance itself. She was shining brilliantly with great splendour. Mentally bowing to her, the seven sages, of good rites, humbly spoke to her after being warmly welcomed and worshipped by her”.
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.
