Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJarjarīkṛta (जर्जरीकृत) refers to “being severely wounded”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.8 (“The battle between the gods and Asuras”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Then various military bands and drums like Bherīs, Mṛdaṅgas, Paṭahas, Āṇakas and Gomukhas were sounded by the soldiers terrifying those who happened to hear. Both [Vīrabhadra and Tāraka] were severely wounded (jarjarīkṛta) by the mutual hits and thrusts but still they continued their fight with added vigour like Mercury and Mars. On seeing the fight between him and Vīrabhadra, you, the favourite of Śiva went there and said to Vīrabhadra. [...]”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
