Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSaritpati (सरित्पति) refers to the “lord of rivers” and is used to describe the Ocean (Sāgara), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.20 (“The story of the submarine fire”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to the Ocean: “[...] This fury of lord Śiva, now in the form of a mare, you will bear till the final dissolution of all living beings. O lord of rivers [i.e., saritpati—saritāṃ pate], when I shall come and stay here, you shall release it. This is Śiva’s wonderful fire of fury. His perpetual diet shall consist of your waters. This shall be preserved by you with effort lest it should go down. Thus requested by me, the ocean agreed. None else could have grasped Śiva’s fire of fury thus. [...]”.
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.
