Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAlakṣmīka (अलक्ष्मीक) refers to “losing one’s fortune”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.1 (“The dalliance of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Lord Viṣṇu said to Brahmā: “[...] If any one separates the copulated pair by a tricky expedient, he will have the pangs of separation from his wife and sons in every birth. He will fall from perfect wisdom. His glory will be destroyed. He will lose his fortune (alakṣmīka). That sinner after his death will suffer the tortures of the hell Kālasūtra for a hundred thousand years. The sage Durvāsas separated Indra in copulation with Rambhā and the sage got separation from his wife as a result thereof. [...]”.
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.
