Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSūryasaṃkāśa (सूर्यसंकाश) refers to “being resplendent like the sun”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.32 (“The seven celestial sages arrive”).—Accordingly, as Menā said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] O dear, in the meantime all those seven celestial sages were remembered by Śiva whose mind was agitated by the pangs of separation from Pārvatī. [...] Arundhatī too came there as though she was an achievement personified. On seeing them resplendent like the sun (sūryasaṃkāśa), Śiva stopped his recitation of mantras. O sage, standing in front of Śiva and bowing to and eulogising Him, the seven sages of great austerity considered themselves blessed. [...]”.
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.
