Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationNāthaprada (नाथप्रद) refers to “one who bestows the lord (husband)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.51 (“The resuscitation of Kāma”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] On seeing her husband in the same form as before, wielding the bow and the arrows and smiling, Rati bowed to lord Śiva. She became contented . With her husband resuscitated and with palms joined in reverence she eulogised the lord, the bestower of her husband (nāthaprada—prāṇanāthapradaṃ), frequently. On hearing the eulogy of Kāma and his wife, Śiva was delighted and he spoke with his heart melting with pity”.
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.
