Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationGirīśvarapriyā (गिरीश्वरप्रिया) refers to the “beloved of the lord of mountains” and is used to describe Menā, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.43 (“Description of Śiva’s wonderful sport”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] On hearing your words she fell on the ground like a tender creeper blown by the wind. Menā the chaste lady was grief-stricken. ‘What is this? I have been deceived for being too ambitious. Of what use is it to see this deformity?’ Saying this, Menakā fell unconscious there in a trice. Her maids exerted themselves in various ways and attended on her. Then gradually she, the beloved of the lord of mountains (girīśvarapriyā), regained consciousness”.
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.
