Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBhaktajñāta (भक्तज्ञात) refers to that which is “known to the devotees” (i.e., Śiva’s greatness), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.43.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] the greatness of Śiva is endless and inscrutable even to the learned sages. It is known to the devotees (i.e., bhaktajñāta) without difficulty, thanks to good devotion and his favour. There is no emotion or aberration at all in Śiva the supreme Being. He points out to the people of the world by his different actions, their respective goals”.
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.
