Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPrīṇayat (प्रीणयत्) refers to “heightening one’s pleasure” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.39 (“The gods arrive at Kailāsa”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Brahmā: “[...] Then Śiva, the lord of the gods, the lord indulging in divine sports, remembered you, O sage, in accordance with worldly conventions. You came there praising your good luck. Bowing to Him humbly with palms joined in reverence and with stooping shoulders you eulogised Him with the utterances of words ‘hail to Thee’. O sage, you requested Him for his behest. Then the delighted Śiva, heightening your pleasure (prīṇayat—tvāṃ prīṇayañchubhayā girā) with sweet speech and evincing interest in worldly conventions told you thus, O excellent sage”.
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.
