Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Sānuga (सानुग) refers to “(being accompanied by one’s) servants”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.10 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Kumāra (Kārttikeya) fought with Tāraka-Asura: “[...] On knowing about the victory of Kārttikeya, Śiva came there joyously with his beloved and the Gaṇas. He took his son on his lap and fondled him with pleasure. Pārvatī in her flutter of affection took Kumāra, resplendent as the sun, on her lap and fondled him with pleasure. Then Himavat came there along with his sons, kinsmen and servants (sānuga). He eulogised Śiva and Guha. [...]”.

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.
