Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBāṇapīḍita (बाणपीडित) refers to “being harassed by Bāṇa”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.11 (“The Victory of Kumāra”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “O sage, in the meantime the mountain Krauñca, harassed by Bāṇa (bāṇapīḍita) came there and sought refuge in Kumāra. This Bāṇa had been fleeing from the previous battle, unable to bear the brilliance of the lord. He with the army of ten thousand persons, inflicted pain on Krauñca with the tip of his missiles. The mountain Krauñca devoutly bowed at the lotuslike feet of Kumāra and eulogised him with reverence with words full of love. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, 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.
