Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚaṃkaraprerita (शंकरप्रेरित) refers to “being urged by Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.2 (“The birth of Śiva’s son”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to Agni: “On hearing these words of Śiva, Agni replied to Śiva, the benefactor of the devotees with pleasure and bowing down with palms joined in reverence. ‘O lord Śiva, this splendour of yours is inaccessible and unbearable. There is no woman in the three worlds except Pārvatī to hold it in her womb’. O excellent sage, when fire said like this, you, urged by Śiva (śaṃkaraprerita), said thus in order to help Agni”.
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.
