Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSamudrajā (समुद्रजा) refers to the “daughter of the ocean” and is used to describe Lakṣmī, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.16 (“The battle of the gods”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu spoke to Brahmā and the Gods: “Having said this with distressed mind, Viṣṇu the enemy of the Asuras got up quickly. The god Viṣṇu who is favourably disposed to his devotees immediately mounted his vehicle Garuḍa. On seeing her lord departing along with the gods, Lakṣmī, the daughter of the ocean (samudrajā), spoke with palms joined in reverence and tears welling up in the eyes. [...]”.
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.
