Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPrāṅgaṇa (प्राङ्गण) refers to the “courtyard”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.30 (“The Celebration of Pārvatī’s Return”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “On hearing that Pārvatī was returning, Menā and Himavat excessively delighted went ahead seated in a divine vehicle. [...] The lord of the mountains gave monetary gifts to brahmins and lords. He made the brahmins recite auspicious hymns, as part of the festivities. The parents delighted with their daughter; the brothers and the sisters gathered joyfully in the courtyard (prāṅgaṇa), O sage. The happy and delighted Himavat, honoured everyone. Then he went to the Gaṅgā for his bath. [...]”.
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.
