Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPṛṣṭhadeśa (पृष्ठदेश) refers to “one’s behind”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.21. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] When they [viz., Śiva’s Gaṇas (attendants)] went away and He was left alone with Satī, Śiva rejoiced much and sported with her. [...] He would not go far from her, (if at all he went) he would return suddenly and close her eyes from behind (pṛṣṭhadeśa) and while she was thinking about something else he would ask her his name”.
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.
