Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationܲԻٲ (सुगन्धिवात) refers to a “fragrant cool breeze�, conjured by Kāma (god of love) in an attempt to charm Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.9. Accordingly as Kāma related to Brahmā:—“[...] O Brahmā, listen to the different kinds of efforts undertaken by us in trying to enchant Him and the manner we did them I shall explain, O sage. When Śiva was in the state of trance with full control of senses, I tried to agitate him—the three-eyed lord Śiva, through the fragrant cool breeze (ܲԻٲ) that blew with force and that usually thrilled everyone�.

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.
