Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Alakṣita (अलक्षित) refers to “moving about without being observed”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.20 (“The fight between the Gaṇas and the Asuras”).—Accordingly, after Jalandhara commanded his army: “[...] After ordering thus, the lord of the Asuras the valorous son of the ocean set out quickly accompanied by crores of Daityas. [...] On seeing his enterprise, the gods including Indra went to Kailāsa, the abode of Śiva without being observed (alakṣita). After going there and seeing Śiva, the gods including Indra, bowed to him with stooping shoulders. They joined their palms in reverence and eulogised. [...]”.
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.
