Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Abhipatti (अभिपत्ति) or Trayyabhipatti refers to “fulfilment” (i.e., of the Vedas), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.41.—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu and others eulogized Śiva:—“[...] O great lord, the lord of the gods and the prescriber of worldly conventions, we know you to be Śiva and Brahman, thanks to your favour. [...] O Śiva, merciful (i.e., dayāpara) that you are, you alone created the sacrifice through Dakṣa for the fulfilment of the Vedas (i.e., trayi-abhipatti). The delimitations which brahmins, experts in the Vedic path and rituals, believe in, end with you in the world”.

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.
