Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀdiśya (आदिश्य) refers to “having ordered”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.1 (“Description of Tripura—the three cities”).—Accordingly, after the sons of Tāraka-Asura spoke to Brahmā: “On hearing their words, Brahmā, the grandfather and creator of the worlds remembered Śiva and told them ‘Let it be so’. He ordered Maya—‘O Maya, build three cities, one of gold, another of silver and a third one of steel’. After ordering (ādiśya) directly like this, Brahmā returned to his abode in heaven even as the sons of Tāraka were watching”.
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.
