Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPrasannadhī (प्रसन्नधी) refers to “being delightedly convinced”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.36 (“The statements of the seven sages”).—Accordingly, after the mountains spoke to Himavat (Himācala): “On hearing the words of Meru and others, Himācala was greatly pleased and Pārvatī laughed within herself. Arundhatī too convinced Menā with reasoned statements and examples from various mythological legends. Then the wife of the mountain too was delightedly convinced (prasannadhī). She entertained Arundhatī, the sages and the mountain with a grand feast and then took food herself. Then the chief of mountains, freed from wrong notions and grown wise, spoke with palms joined in reverence and mind extremely delighted. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
