O Nārada, Śiva, the lord who had assumed body sportively, granted boons and honour to all present there. O dear one, Viṣṇu and others taking leave of the great lord delightedly (atihṛṣṭa) returned to their respective places. They were duly honoured and their faces beamed with pleasure”.
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.
