Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Samīkṣya (समीक्ष्य) refers to “finding out” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.21 (“Nārada instructs Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “O dear, of great intellect, listen to the story of the moon crested lord, my master and the cause of great enjoyment and protection. A wonderfully loud sound arose covering the whole firmament when the fire issuing from Śiva’s eye burnt Kāma. On hearing that loud report [i.e., samīkṣya] and seeing Kāma burnt, Pārvatī was terribly frightened and she returned to her abode along with her maids. [...]”.

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.
