In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPaṅkeruha (पङ्केरुह) refers to “lotuses”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.22. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] On the top of the mountain near the city of Himālaya (śailarājapura), Śiva sported about for a long time in the company of Satī. [...] It shone with grassy plains and plenty of trees. There were various flowers in abundance. It had many lakes. The boughs of the full-blown and blossomed (praphulla) trees (taru) were surrounded by humming bees. Lotuses (paṅkeruha) and blue lilies were in full bloom”.
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.
