Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationApahārita (अपहारित) refers to “having removed” (arrogance), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.15 (“Gaṇeśa’s battle”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Śiva: “O lord of the gods, please listen to my words. You are the all-pervading lord and expert in various sports. By indulging in a great sport, the arrogance of the Gaṇas has been removed (apahārita) by you. O Śaṅkara, the impudence of the gods too has been removed by giving this (Gaṇeśa) much strength. O lord Śiva, your own wonderful strength has been known to the worlds, you who independently remove the haughtiness of everyone. [...]”.
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.
