Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationLāvaṇyānidhi (लावण्यानिधि) (Cf. Sulāvaṇyānidhi) refers to “one who is a storehouse of beauty”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.18 (“Description of the perturbation caused by Kāma”).—Accordingly, as Śiva described Pārvatī: “[...] Whatever is graceful and sweet in the creation has been incorporated here. Indeed, all her limbs are exquisite in every respect. How blessed is this Pārvatī of mysteriously wonderful features. There is no other woman equal to her in beauty in the three worlds. She is a storehouse of the finest beauty [i.e., su-lāvaṇyānidhi]. She has wondrous beautiful limbs. She is an enchantress of even sages. She increases great happiness”.
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.
