Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVīraśrī (वीरश्री) refers to “heroic glory”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.37. Accordingly:—“[...] seeing Dakṣa and others entirely burnt, [Vīrabhadra] laughed boisterously filling the three worlds with the sound. He was surrounded by heroic glory (vīraśrī). Then a divine shower of flowers originating from the celestial park fell over Vīrabhadra accompanied by his Gaṇas”.
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.
