In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚaraja (शरज) refers to “one born in the grove of Śara plants” and is used to describe Guha / Kārttikeya (i.e., Śiva’s son), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.5 (“Kārttikeya is crowned”).—Accordingly, after the Kṛttikās spoke to Kārttikeya: “[...] Kumāra reached the foot of a Nyagrodha tree at Kailāsa in the fast chariot along with Nandin seated to his right. [...] Vīrabhadra and other Gaṇas followed them with different chiming cymbols beating the time and sporting about. Eulogising and being eulogised they sang songs of praise. Shouting cries of ‘Victory’ and ‘Obeisance’ the delighted people went to see the excellent son of Śiva born in the grove of Śara plants (śaraja). [...]”

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.
