Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPrabhātakāla (प्रभातकाल) refers to the “(time of) morning”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.52 (“The bridegroom’s party is fed and Śiva retires to bed”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Seated on a gemset throne offered by Menā, Śiva surveyed the bedchamber with pleasure. [...] While the supreme lord had his sleep and the lord of the mountains was engaged in these duties, the night passed away giving place to dawn. In the morning (prabhātakāla) the enthusiastic people began to play on different kinds of musical instruments. [...]”.
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.
