In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAnīti (अनीति) refers to “unjust”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.43.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] O sage, the lord (i.e., Śiva) is never unjust (i.e., anīti—nānītikārakaḥ). The supreme Brahman is the goal of the good. How can He be deluded? What sorrow has He? How can he have other aberrations? Even Viṣṇu and I do not know His real secret. What then about others, the sages, gods, human beings and even Yogins”.
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.
