Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDhairyadhārin (धैर्यधारिन्) (=Dhairyadhāriṇī) refers to “one who is endowed with fortitude”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.54 (“Description of the duties of the chaste wife”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin lady said to Pārvatī: “[...] A chaste lady shall be delighted when her husband is delighted and dejected when he is dejected. She shall always wish for his benefit. She shall be virtuous and equanimous in affluence and adversity. She shall have fortitude (dhairyadhāriṇī) and shall never go astray. Even when ghee, salt, oil or other things are exhausted she shall not tell her husband openly about it lest he should be subjected to undue strain. [...]”.
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.
