Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSamāgatya (समागत्य) refers to “having arrived” (at the door), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “On hearing the words of Śiva’s servants the son of Pārvatī became unhappy and thought:—“What shall I do?’. In the meantime, the goddess heard the noise of this wrangle between the Gaṇas and the doorkeeper, then looked at her friend and spoke:—‘Go and see’. The friend came (samāgatya) to the door and saw them for a moment. She understood the whole matter. She was delighted and returned to Pārvatī. O sage, coming back she reported the matter to Pārvatī as it had occurred. [...]”.
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.
