Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Dvārin (द्वारिन्) refers to a “statue at the main entrance”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.38 (“Description of the dais or maṇḍapa”).—Accordingly, as Himavat prepared the wedding of Menā and Śiva: “[...] Beautiful representations of gatekeepers with uplifted bows in their hands appeared like real originals. The statue (dvārin) of Mahālakṣmī at the main entrance appeared like the goddess just emerged from the milk-ocean. It was because all the characteristics were complete. Elephants with their mahouts and horses with their riders were so natural that none would say that they were artificial. [...]”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
