Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚaṃbhuviraha (शंभुविरह) refers to “separation from Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.21 (“Nārada instructs Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “[...] A wonderfully loud sound arose covering the whole firmament when the fire issuing from Śiva’s eye burnt Kāma. [...] Himavat along with his attendants and relatives was surprised on hearing that loud report. He was agitated on remembering that his daughter had gone there. On seeing his daughter excessively agitated, the lord of the mountains was sorry. The lord of the mountains approached her gently as she was crying due to her separation from Śiva [i.e., śaṃbhuviraha]. [...]”.
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.
