Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationStrībheda (स्त्रीभेद) refers to the “separation from one’s wife”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.1 (“The dalliance of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Lord Viṣṇu said to Brahmā: “[...] If any one separates the copulated pair by a tricky expedient, he will have the pangs of separation from his wife and sons in every birth. He will fall from perfect wisdom. [...] The sage Durvāsas separated Indra in copulation with Rambhā and the sage got separation from his wife (strībheda) as a result thereof. He took another woman as his wife and thus put an end to the pangs of separation lasting for a thousand years of the gods. [...]”.
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.
