Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSṛṣṭikarī (सृष्टिकरी) refers to “she who is the cause of creation” and is used to describe Pārvatī, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.17 (“The Resuscitation of Gaṇeśa”).—Accordingly, as the sages eulogised Pārvatī: “O Mother of the universe, obeisance to you. Obeisance to you, O Śivā. Obeisance to you. O Caṇḍikā. Obeisance to you, Kalyāṇī. O mother, you alone are the primordial Śakti. You are the eternal cause of creation (sarva-sṛṣṭikarī). You alone are the sustaining power. You alone are the cause of dissolution. O goddess, be pleased. Spread peace. Obeisance be to you. O goddess, the three worlds are agitated by your fury”.
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.
