Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPṛthivīkramaṇa (पृथिवीक्रमण) refers to “traveling around the earth”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.19 (“Gaṇapati’s marriage”).—Accordingly, after Śiva and Pārvatī spoke to their sons: “On hearing their words, the powerful Kumāra started immediately from the fixed point in order to go round the earth (pṛthivīkramaṇa). Gaṇeśa of excellent intellect stood there itself after pondering in his mind frequently with his keen intellect. ‘What shall be done? Where am I to go? I cannot cross the earth. At best it may be possible to go a Krośa. I cannot go beyond it. What avails that happiness which is achieved after going round the earth?’ Please listen to what Gaṇeśa did after thinking thus. He performed the ceremonial ablution and returned, home. He then spoke to his father and mother”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
