Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationRudratejas (रुद्रतेजस्) refers to the “splendour of Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.36. Accordingly, as Viṣṇu said to Vīrabhadra:—“[...] O heroic one [i.e., Vīrabhadra], you have the features and splendour of Śiva [viz., rudratejas-svarūpa], you are born of Śiva’s fury. O lord, you are the receptacle of exploits; listen to the vow taken by me. I shall withstand you. You can try to stop me. Let whatever is destined to happen, befall. I shall definitely show my prowess”.
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.
