Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationRambhoru (रम्भोरु) refers to “beautiful celestial damsels”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.22. Accordingly as Śiva said to Sitā:—“[...] Heaven, the abode of the Devas is stationed on the summits (ucca) of the Meru wherein the cities of the guardians of the quarters are also situated. They are brilliant. Beautiful celestial damsels (rambhoru), Rambhā, Śacī, Menakā and others heighten their glory”.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
