Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationManogati (मनोगति) refers to the “inclinations (of Śiva)” and is used to describe Nārada, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.16 (“The head of Gaṇeśa is chopped off”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] O Nārada, when the head of Gaṇeśa was cut off, the armies of the gods and the Gaṇas stood still. You, Nārada, then came and acquainted Pārvatī with the matter—‘O proud woman, listen. You shall not cast off your pride and prestige’. O Nārada, saying this, you, fond of quarrels, vanished from there. You are the unchanging sage and a follower of the inclinations (manogati-kara) of Śiva”.
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.
