Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAtikrośat (अतिक्रोशत्) (Cf. Krośat) refers to “lamenting”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.19 (“Kāma’s destruction by Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Naradā: “[...] When the gods eulogised thus, a great flame of fire sprang up from the third eye of the infuriated Śiva. Even before the gods had the time to say ‘Let him be forgiven, let him be excused’ it reduced Kāma to ashes. When the heroic Kāma was thus slain, the gods became miserable. In their agitation they lamented much [i.e., atikrośat] and saying ‘O what has happened?’ they cried aloud. [...]”.
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.
