Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Svarṇamukharī (स्वर्णमुखरी) is a variant spelling for Suvarṇamukharī, a sacred river as mentioned in the Śivapurāṇa 1.12, “somehow men must strive to find a residence in a holy centre. On the shores of the ocean in the confluence of hundreds of rivers there are many such holy centres (puṇyakṣetra or tīrtha) and temples. [...] The holy Suvarṇamukharī is said to have nine mouths. Those who fall from Brahmaloka are born there. [...] The devotees of Śiva are the bestowers of Śivaloka and accord cherished desires. [...] Brahmā has stated that the bath in the Suvarṇamukharī when the sun and the Jupiter are in the zodiac of Dhanus accords Śivaloka”.
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.
