Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSuvīkṣaṇa (सुवीक्षण) (Cf. Vīkṣaṇa) refers to “graceful glances”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.18 (“Description of the perturbation caused by Kāma”).—Accordingly, after Śiva described Pārvatī: “After describing her body again and again, recollecting the boon granted by Brahmā, Śiva stopped. When Śiva put His hand within her garment and moved it, she, as is natural to women, bashfully withdrew and kept aloof. O sage, then Pārvatī smilingly laid bare some parts of her body and cast graceful glances [i.e., suvīkṣaṇa] at Him with great pleasure. [...]”.
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.
