In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVirahajvara (विरहज्वर) refers to the “pangs of separation”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.46 (“The arrival of the bridegroom”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] On seeing the primordial deity, the mother of the universe along with Menakā, the gods and others bowed down their heads with great devotion. The three-eyed deity saw her with the corner of an eye and was glad. On seeing the shapely body of Satī he forgot the pangs of separation (virahajvara). With his eyes riveted to her, he forgot everything else. Hair stood on ends all over his body, as he continued seeing her with delight. [...]”.
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.
