Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSadvākya (सद्वाक्य) refers to “good words” (e.g., cries of Victory), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.7 (“The gods pray”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “On hearing the words of the gods and others, Śiva accepted the proposal. The lord is worthy of being sought refuge and is also favourably disposed to his devotees. O sage, in the meantime the goddess Pārvatī arrived there with the two sons where Śiva was in conversation with the gods. On seeing Pārvatī come there, Viṣṇu and others were surprised but without agitation they bowed to her in great humility. O sage, they shouted cries of ‘Victory’ (sadvākya) [procurjayeti sadvākyaṃ mune sarve sulakṣaṇam]. But unable to know the cause of her arrival, they remained silent. [...]”.
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.
