Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Samāruhya (समारुह्य) refers to “being seated (in a vehicle)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.30 (“The Celebration of Pārvatī’s Return”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “O dear, listen with pleasure to what happened thereafter when Śiva returned to His place. I shall mention it, remembering Śiva. Accompanied by her maids and assuming meaningful dress and features she returned to her father’s house repeating the name of lord Śiva. On hearing that Pārvatī was returning, Menā and Himavat excessively delighted went ahead seated (samāruhya) in a divine vehicle. [...]”.
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.
