Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPādyārghya (पाद्यार्घ्य) refers to “(offering) Pādya and Arghya” (suitable for a marriage ceremony), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.47 (“The ceremonious entry of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The excellent mountains jubilantly made Śiva dismount the bull and lovingly took Him within. After duly bowing to Śiva who arrived there with the gods and Gaṇas, Himavat performed the Nīrājana with great devotion. Praising his own good luck and bowing to all the gods, sages and others jubilantly he honoured them suitably. The mountain, after offering Pādya and Arghya [e.g., pādyārghya] to them, took Śiva along with Viṣṇu and the important gods, within. [...]”.
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.
