Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationParameśāna (परमेशान) refers to the “Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.5 (“Kārttikeya is crowned”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “In the meantime he saw an excellent, lustrous and wonderful chariot, made by Viśvakarman. It was a commodious with a hundred wheels. It was beautiful and had the quickness of the mind. It had been sent by Pārvatī and was surrounded by the excellent attendants of Śiva. With an aching heart, Kārttikeya, born of the semen of lord Śiva (parameśāna-vīryaja), the perfectly wise and endless Being, got into it. At the same time, the distressed grief-stricken Kṛttikās approached him with dishevelled hair and began to speak like mad women”.
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.
