Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationGaur墨ga峁嘺 (啶椸啶班啶椸ぃ) refers to the 鈥渁ttendants of P膩rvat墨鈥� (i.e., the consort of 艢iva), according to the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺 2.4.14 (鈥淭he Ga峁嘺s argue and wrangle鈥�).鈥擜ccordingly, as 艢iva said to his attendants: 鈥淥 Ga峁嘺s, hear you all. A battle may not be a proper course. You are all my own. He is P膩rvat墨鈥檚 Ga峁嘺 (驳补耻谤墨驳补峁嘺). But if we are going to be humble, there is likely to be a rumour: 鈥樑歩va is subservient to his wife鈥�. O Ga峁嘺s, this is certainly derogatory to me. The policy of meeting an action with another (Tit for tat) is a weighty one. That single-handed Ga峁嘺 is a mere boy. What valour can be expected of him? [...]鈥�.
The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
