Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDhyānasamāśrita (ध्यानसमाश्रित) refers to “one who resorts to meditation”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, after Śiva permitted Pārvatī to stay by his side: “[...] On seeing her with perfect control over her sense-organs and engrossed in serving Him always, the lord mercifully thought. ‘I shall take her only when the last seed of ego goes away from her; when she herself performs a penance’. Thinking thus, the lord of the Bhūtas reverted to meditation [i.e., dhyānasamāśrita]. The lord who could indulge in great sports became a great Yogin. [...]”.
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.
