In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Añjasa (अञ्जस) refers to “instantly (crossing)” [?] (the ocean of worldly existence), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.29 (“Śivā-Śiva dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Pārvatī said to Śiva: “[...] O great lord, I know you in every respect. O omniscient, of what avail is a detailed talk. Take pity on me. Spread your glory in the world indulging in your wonderful divine sports. Singing them, O lord, people can cross (añjasa-uttīrṇa) the ocean of worldly existence”.
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.
