Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation岹 (जगदम्ब�) refers to “she who is the mother of the universe� and is used to describe the Goddess Umā (Durgā/Śivā), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.6.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] At the proper time, he saw his wife Menā about to be delivered of the child, with delight, as one sees the sky enveloped with clouds. The lord of the mountains felt greatly rejoiced on seeing his wife of sound and auspicious in limbs the ‘labour-chamber� presided over by physicians. She felt very brilliant with the mother of the universe in her womb [i.e., ٳ-Ჹ岹]. In the mean time, O sage, Viṣṇu, and other gods as well as the sages came there and eulogised Śivā who was in the womb�.

The Purana (पुरा�, 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.
