Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaVadhūsarā (वधूसरा).—A river which flowed through the vicinity of the hermitage of Cyavana. This river took its origin from the tears of Pulomā, the wife of hermit Bhṛgu. (For further details see under Cyavana). Because of a bath taken in this river, the body of Paraśurāma shone with radiance. (Mahābhārata Vana Parva, Chapter 99, Stanza 68).
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 to German]
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.
