Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Aparādhīna (अपराधीन) refers to “that which is non-dependent on others”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.5 (“The Tripuras are fascinated).—Accordingly, as Arihan said to the Lord of the Three Cities: “O ruler of the Asuras, listen to my statement, pregnant with wisdom. It is the essence of the Vedānta and bears high esoteric importance. [...] Non-violence is the greatest virtue. Affliction of others is a great sin. Salvation is defined as non-dependence on others (aparādhīna). Eating the food of our choice is heavenly bliss. This has been mentioned by the earlier sages with good justification to be sure. Hence no violence should be indulged in by men who are afraid of hell. [...]”.
