Agitated by grief and anger (śokaroṣa) she did not go near her husband. There was a great hue and cry at that time, O great sage. The gods came near her. O celestial sage, I too came myself. On seeing me, O excellent sage, you spoke to her. [...]”.
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.
