Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Racayitvā (रचयित्वा) refers to “being suitably dressed” (for festive occasions), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.39 (“The gods arrive at Kailāsa”).—Accordingly, as the guests arrived for Śiva’s marriage: “[...] At the same time, Viṣṇu, along with his retinue, came there suitably dressed (racayitvā). Accompanied by his wife and followers he bowed to Śiva with great devotion and joy, and with his permission stayed there in a good abode. I too accompanied by my attendants went to Kailāsa. After bowing to the lord, I too waited there with pleasure along with my followers. [...]”.
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.
