Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSāphalya (साफल्य) refers to “fruitful”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.22 (“Description of Pārvatī’s penance”).—Accordingly, as Pārvatī’s maids said to Himavat: “O Himavat, let the words of your daughter be heard through us. She wishes to make her body, beauty and family fruitful [i.e., sāphalya]. This can be achieved through penance and not otherwise. O excellent mountain, the permission may kindly be given—‘Let Pārvatī go to the forest and perform penance there’.”.
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.
