Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVirahin (विरहिनà¥�) refers to “those who are separatedâ€� (from their beloveds), according to the ÅšivapurÄṇa 2.3.18 (“Description of the perturbation caused by KÄmaâ€�).—Accordingly, as BrahmÄ narrated: “After going there, the haughty KÄma, deluded by Åšiva’s magic power, stationed himself, after first spreading the enchanting power of Spring all around. [...] At that time the KÄladÄ«pikÄ (brilliant lamp) induced reticent haughty persons to love. O good sir, the wind blew gently but distressed those who were separated from their beloveds [i.e., virahin]. Thus the vast diffusion of Spring caused the display of emotions of love. It was unbearable to the forestdwelling sages. [...]â€�.

The Purana (पà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤�, purÄṇas) 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.
