Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation峾� (जामातृ) refers to a “son-in-law�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.48 (“Description of Marriage of Śiva and Pārvatī�).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Himavat (Hicala): “[...] Śiva was directly asked by you to mention His Gotra. On this occasion these words are utterly ridiculous and derisible. [...] He has no Gotra, family or name. He is independent. He is favourably disposed to His devotees. At His will He assumes bodies taking many names. He is full of attributes. He is sugotrin (having good gotra) as well as devoid of gotra. He is of noble family as well as devoid of a family. Thanks to Pārvatī’s penance. He has now become your son-in-law (峾�), There is no doubt about it. [...]�.

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.
