Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚambhupatnī (शम्भुपत्नी) refers to “she who is the wife of Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.6.—Accordingly, as the Goddess said to Menā:—“[...] I have assumed the divine form now, so that you may be reminded of me. In a human form if I had appeared, it would have put you out of knowledge about me. Constantly thinking of me in the form of your daughter, or in the divine form with love, both of you will surely attain my region, the great goal. I shall do the work of the gods showing my wonderfully divine sports. I shall become the wife of Śiva [i.e., śambhupatnī] and redeem good men”.
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.
