Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPurāṅganā (पुराङ्गना) refers to the “women of a city”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.5 (“The Tripuras are fascinated).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “O sage, addressing the lord of the Asuras and the citizens thus, the sage with his disciples spoiled the Vedic rites in a determined manner. [...] The fascinated men practised rites of seduction and winning over and made their artifices fruitful in gaining other men’s wives. The attendant maids in the harems, the princes, the citizens and the ladies (purāṅganā) were perfectly enchanted by him. Thus when the citizens became averse to virtuous rites and actions, evil reigned supreme. [...]”.
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.
