In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Sūryaraśmi (सूर्यरश्मि) refers to the “rays of the sun”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.21. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] When Kāma (God of Love) reached the vicinity of Śiva, Spring spread all his splendour in accord with the inclination of the lord. [...] The dew-drops as they came in contact with the rays of the sun (sūryaraśmi) turned in vapours like the hearts of the people turning pure in association with the good”.
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.
