Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVikṛtamānas (विकृतमानस्) refers to “(having) an agitated mind”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.41 (“Description of the Altar-Structure”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu spoke to Indra: “While he was speaking this to Indra of agitated mind (vikṛtamānas), Śiva spoke to Viṣṇu following the worldly custom. [Śiva said:—] ‘O Viṣṇu, O lord of gods, what are you speaking to each other?’ O sage, after speaking thus to them Śiva addressed you.—‘O Nārada, what does the great mountain say? Tell me the truth with details. You must not keep any secret. Does the mountain want to give the daughter or not? Tell me that quickly. O dear one, on going there, what did you see? What did you do? Tell me that quickly’”.
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.
