Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Sandhārya (सन्धार्य) refers to “fixing (the auspicious Lagna)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.36 (“The statements of the seven sages”).—Accordingly, after the Seven Sages spoke to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] The great chaste lady Arundhatī tempted Menā further with Śiva’s good qualities. According to the worldly convention they smeared the moustache of the mountain with powdered turmeric and saffron as an auspicious custom. After fixing (sandhārya) the auspicious Lagna for the marriage and congratulating and complimenting one another the sages came to Śiva’s abode on the fourth day. After reaching the place, Vasiṣṭha and other sages bowed to Śiva and eulogised Him with different hymns. They then spoke to lord Śiva”.

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.
