Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPinākapāṇi (पिनाकपाणि) refers to “one who bears the Pināka” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.26 (“Pārvatī-Jaṭila dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Vijayā said to Śiva (in guise of a Brahmacārin): “[...] Leaving off Indra and other gods, Viṣṇu and Brahmā, Pārvatī wishes to attain the Pināka-bearing Śiva [i.e., Pinākapāṇi] as her husband. She my friend planted many trees before. O brahmin, all of them have put forth flowers and fruits. [...]”.
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.
