In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationViṣaṇṇavadana (विषण्णवदन) refers to the “face and stricken with grief”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.25. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] while returning, the Goddess frequently mused—‘I did not accept Śiva’s explanation. I entertained a senseless thought against Rāma. After going to Śiva what reply shall I give?’ Thinking thus, she began to repent in many ways. Approaching Śiva she mentally bowed to Him, with a pallid face and stricken with grief (viṣaṇṇavadana)”.
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.
