Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationViphalīkṛta (विफलीकृत) refers to “rendering something futile”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.16 (“The head of Gaṇeśa is chopped off”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Gaṇeśa, son of the Śaktis whirled the iron club and hurled it at Viṣṇu even as he was saying so. After remembering the lotus-like feet of Śiva, Viṣṇu took up his discus and split the iron club by means of discus. Gaṇeśa hurled the piece of iron club at Viṣṇu which was caught by the bird Garuḍa and rendered futile (viphalīkṛta). Thus for a long time the two heroes Viṣṇu and Gaṇeśa fought with each other. [...]”.
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, 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.
