Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPremapātra (प्रेमपात्र) refers to the “object of one’s love”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.3 (“The boyhood sports of Kārttikeya”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Realising his desire, the Kṛttikās, O sage, took him to their region joyously. Feeding him with their breast milk they nursed and nurtured Śiva’s son who was more refulgent than the sun. They never let him go out of their sight. He became the object of their love (premapātra), dearer to them than their own lives. Verily he who nurses and nurtures the child has the right of possession over the son. [...]”.
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.
