Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationParicchidya (परिच्छिद्य) refers to “seperating” (daughter from mother), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, after Pārvatī spoke to her mother Menā: “On hearing these words of Pārvatī, Menā, the beloved of the lord of mountains lamented much. She became angry. She caught hold of Pārvatī and thrashed her with fists, elbows gnashing her teeth. She was greatly agitated and furious. O dear one, O sage, you and other sages who were there, separated (paricchidya) her from the mother and took her far off. Menā then rebuked them again and again. She hurled harsh repulsive words at all of them”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
