Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationStutipriya (स्तुतिप्रिय) refers to “one who is fond of eulogy” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.12 (“The Gods go back to their abodes”).—Accordingly, as Maya-Asura eulogized Śiva: “[...] O Śiva, O consort of Pārvatī, obeisance to you who are accessible through devotion of the devotees; obeisance to the compassionate and the bestower of the good fruits of penance. O great lord, fond of eulogy (stutipriya), I know not how to eulogise you. O lord of all, be pleased. Save me who have sought refuge in you. [...]”.
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.
