Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationUpaśaileśa (उपशैलेश) [?] refers to the “lord of mountains”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.31 (“Description of Śiva’s magic”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to the Gods: “Dear children, I am incompetent to decry Śiva. It is unbearable. It destroys all riches. It is the seed of all adversities. O gods, all of you go to Kailāsa and propitiate Śiva. Make Him go to Himavat’s abode quickly. Let him approach the lord of mountains (upaśaileśa) and make disparaging remarks about Himself. Rebuking others is conducive to destruction. Rebuking oneself is conducive to fame”.
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.
