In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationUparata (उपरत) refers to “reverting from (one’s trance/meditation)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, after Nandikeśvara spoke to Śiva: “Śiva, who was thus informed by Nandin and who was extremely sympathetic, slowly reverted from His meditation and opened His eyes. Then lord Śiva, the highly efficient great Ātman, reverted from [i.e., uparata] His trance and spoke to the gods”.
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.
