Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Saṃsad (संसद्) refers to an “assembly”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.35 (“The story of Padmā and Pippalāda”).—Accordingly, after Dharma spoke to Padmā (wife of sage Pippalāda): “O excellent mountain, after saying thus, Dharma stood quiet there. She circumambulated him, bowed to him and returned to her house. Bestowing blessings upon her, Dharma returned to his abode. He praised Padmā lovingly in every assembly he visited (saṃsad—saṃsadi saṃsadi). She sported about in secret with her husband who became a young man. She gave birth to sons who surpassed her husband in their good qualities. [...]”.

context information

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.
