Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBoddhāgama (बोद्धागम) refers to “Buddha’s religion and philosophy”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.6 (“Prayer to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “Obeisance to you, the soul of all, obeisance to Śiva the remover of distress, [...] O lord, favourably disposed towards your devotees, those Asuras have resorted to Buddha’s religion and philosophy (boddhāgama-samāśrita), thanks to our good fortune and hence they have eschewed all Vedic sacred rites. You have always been the only one carrying out the task of the gods and the bestower of refuge. We have sought refuge in you. Please do as you desire. [...]”.
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.
