Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSvarṇābha (स्वर्णाभ) refers to “having a golden colour”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.2 (“The birth of Śiva’s son”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to the Gods: “Accepting this command with bent head Viṣṇu and the other gods immediately vomitted it out after duly remembering Śiva the imperishable. The semen of Śiva lustrous and golden in colour (svarṇābha) falling on the ground seemed to touch the heaven as it was as huge as a mountain”.
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.
