Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAsutyāga (असुत्याग) refers to one’s “self-immolation”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.30. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] [Satī’s] body divested of its sins fell in the yogic fire and was reduced to ashes, O excellent sage, in accordance with her own wish. [...] When people were saying thus on seeing the self-immolation (asutyāga) of Satī, her attendants rose up in anger with their weapons. They had been waiting near the door numbering sixty thousand. Those powerful attendants of lord Śiva became furious”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
