In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDuṣkarma (दुष्कर्म) refers to “wicked deeds”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.12 (“The Gods go back to their abodes”).—Accordingly, as the heretics said to the gods: “O Viṣṇu, O Brahmā, O gods, wicked deeds (duṣkarma) have been performed by us. We have destroyed the devotion to Śiva of all the Asuras who were great devotees of Śiva. We will have to stay in hell for a countless Kalpas. Certainly there is no redemption for us that have offended devotees of Śiva. But it was in accordance with your desire that this wicked deed was perpetrated. Please tell us the mode of atoning for the same. We have sought refuge in you”.
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.
