Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAtidīpita (अतिदीपित) (Cf. Dīpita) refers to “very brilliant”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.20 (“The story of the submarine fire”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “On hearing that I pondered over the reason for the same, and remembering Śiva humbly I went there in order to protect the three worlds. That fire, out to burn everything, very brilliant with its shooting flames [i.e., śuci-jvālāmālā-atidīpita], was thwarted by me as I had the capacity by Śiva’s grace. O sage, then I made that fire of fury, out to burn the three worlds, tender in its blaze and mare-like in shape. [...]”.
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.
