Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBhrātṛpatha (भ्रातृपथ) refers to “(following) the way of one’s brother”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.25 (“The seven celestial sages test Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as the seven Sages said (with false words) to Pārvatī: “[...] On hearing this, Dakṣa was infuriated but his father consoled him. Thereafter he begot a thousand other sons and engaged them in penance. The sons too went to the same place for penance at the bidding of their father. Nārada too went there, a self-appointed instructor for them. He gave them the same instruction and they went the way of their brothers [i.e., bhrātṛpatha]. They never returned to the parental abode. They were engrossed in the avocation of mendicants”.
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.
