Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀkarṇya (आकर्ण्य) means “upon hearing” (one’s lamentation), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.51 (“The resuscitation of Kāma”).—Accordingly, after Rati spoke to Śiva: “After saying thus she gave him the ashes of the cupid along with the bag in which they had been contained. “O lord, O lord”, saying thus she lamented much in front of Śiva. On hearing (ākarṇya) the lamentation of Rati, Sarasvatī and other celestial ladies wept bitterly and spoke in piteous tones. [...]”.
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.
