Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Sthāṇvīśvara (स्थाण्वीश्वर) or Sthāneśvara is the name of a Tīrtha (sacred region), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.39.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] after venerating Dadhīca, Kṣuva returned to his abode. Viṣṇu also returned to his region and the devas to their respective places. That place became a sanctified holy centre named Sthāneśvara. Persons making pilgrimage to Sthāneśvara will attain the Sāyujya salvation with Śiva”.
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.
