Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSarvāmaratva (सर्वामरत्व) refers to “invariable indestructibility”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.1 (“Description of Tripura—the three cities”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to the sons of Tāraka-Asura: “O Asuras, there cannot be invariable indestructibility (sarvāmaratva). Please desist from asking for it. Seek some other boon whatever you wish. O Asuras, a creature is born, dies and will be born surely. But no one will be free from old age or death in this world. Except Śiva the destroyer of Death, and Viṣṇu all else are mortals. These two are the supervisers of virtue and evil and have manifest and unmanifest forms. [...]”.
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.

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.
