Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVarddhinī (वर्द्धिनी) refers to “she who will increase (good fortune)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.14 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to the Ocean: “[...] This boy will become the emperor of Asuras. He will conquer even Viṣṇu. He will face defeat from no quarter. He cannot be slain by any one except Śiva. He will return to the place from where he sprang up. His wife will be a chaste lady who will increase good fortune (saubhāgya-varddhinī). She will be exquisitely beautiful in every limb. She will be an ocean of good conduct and will speak pleasing words”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
