Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationParipṛcchat (परिपृच्छत्) (Cf. Paripṛcchantī) refers to “seeking (permission)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.22 (“Description of Pārvatī’s penance”).—Accordingly, as Pārvatī’s maids said to Menakā: “O mother, O gentle lady, please listen to the words of your daughter. Obeisance be to you. You will listen with pleasure and act accordingly. For the sake of attaining Śiva, your daughter wishes to perform a severe penance. She has secured the permission of her father. She now wants to seek it [i.e., paripṛcchat] from you. O chaste lady, she is desirous of making her beauty fruitful. If your permission too is received, the penance can be performed”.
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.
