Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationUtphullānana (उत्फुल्लानन) refers to “beaming face” (i.e., ‘a face beaming with love’), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.29 (“Śivā-Śiva dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Brāhma narrated to Nārada: “O celestial sage, let this be listened to. I shall resume the story joyfully, the story that quells all sins and increases devotion to Śiva. O brahmin, on hearing the words of Śiva, the great Soul and on seeing His pleasant form and features Pārvatī was delighted much. The highly chaste lady, goddess Pārvatī replied to the lord standing near with great pleasure and face beaming with love (prīti-utphullānana)”
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.
