Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationTrisurārtha (त्रिसुरार्थ) refers to the “request of the three deities”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.54 (“Description of the duties of the chaste wife”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin lady said to Pārvatī: “[...] O gentle lady, the chaste ladies can be divided into four classes. Even when they are remembered they dispel sins. [...] O Pārvatī, these four types of chaste ladies dispel sins. They sanctify all the worlds. They are delighted here and hereafter. A brahmin who died due to the curse of Varāha (Boar), was at the request of the three deities (trisurārtha), resuscitated by Atri’s wife (i.e., Anasūyā), thanks to the power of chastity. [...]”.
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.
