Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPrāṇeśa (प्राणेश) refers to “one’s dear lover”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.31 (“Description of Śiva’s magic”).—Accordingly, after the Gods eulogised Śiva: “Then the lord Śiva who is favourably disposed to his devotees, the lord of magic and free from aberrations went to the lord of mountains. [...] Pārvatī bowed with devotion to her dear lover (prāṇeśa) in the guise of a Brahmin. On realising him mentally the goddess eulogised him with great joy. With great pleasure Śiva bestowed his blessings on all. O dear, He bestowed on Pārvatī her cherished desire in addition. [...]”.
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.
