Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationHimavatpatnī (हिमवत्पत्नी) refers to the “wife of Himavat” and is used to describe Menā, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu said to Menā: “[...] Whatever is seen in the universe from Brahmā down to a blade of grass is identical with Śiva. Know it. There need not be any hesitation in this matter. He alone, in the course of his divine sport, has incarnated himself in divine form. It was by the fascination of Pārvatī’s penance that He has come to your threshold. Hence, O wife of Himavat [e.g., himavatpatnī], eschew your sorrow. Worship Śiva. You will have great pleasure. All pain will be quelled”.
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.
