Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationUgrarūpin (उग्ररूपिन्) refers to “one of fierce features” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “Menā cried aloud frequently and spoke to the gods—‘My daughter will not be given to Śiva of fierce features (ugrarūpin). Why have you all conspired together to render her beauty futile?’ O excellent sages, when she uttered thus, the seven sages, Vasiṣṭha and others, came there and spoke:—[The seven sages said:—] ‘O daughter of the Pitṛs, O beloved of the mountain, we have come here to achieve a purpose. In this important affair how can we entertain opposite views? The very vision of Śiva is the greatest gain. He has come to your palace as the suppliant for your gift’. ”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
