Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDarśanārtha (दर्शनार्थ) refers to “wishing to receive the vision” (of Kumāra), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.20 (“The celebration of Gaṇeśa’s marriage”).—Accordingly, after Kārttikeya went to the Krauñca mountain: “[...] In the month of Kārttika, the gods, the holy sages and great ascetics go there to see (darśanārtha) Kumāra. He who has the vision of the lord in the Kṛttikā Nakṣatra in the month of Kārttika is divested of all sins. He derives all desired fruits. Pārvatī became grief-stricken by separation from Skanda. She piteously told her lord.—‘O lord, let us go there’. [...]”.
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.
