Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSuhṛda (सुहृद) refers to a “friend”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.28. Accordingly as Satī said to Śiva:—“[...] O lord of Devas, how is it that a visit to my father’s great sacrifice does not appeal to you? Please explain to me fully, O lord. This is the duty of friends (suhṛda) that they shall frequently associate with their friends. O great lord, friends always do what increases the pleasures of their friends”.
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.
