Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationNiyamastha (नियमस्थ) refers to “observing all restraints”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.21 (“Nārada instructs Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Pārvatī: “[...] O Śiva [Śivā?], meditate on His form, observing all restraints [i.e., niyamastha]. Repeat the five-syllabled mantra. Śiva will be pleased quickly. O chaste lady, perform the penance thus. Lord Śiva can be attained through penance. Every one attains the desired fruits in penance and not otherwise”.
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.
