Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀtmapradīpa (आत्मप्रदीप) refers to the “light of Ātman” and is used to describe Śiva, in the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.15. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] On arrival there, after paying respects to the lord [Śiva] with great excitement we lauded Him with various hymns with palms joined in reverence. The Devas said: [...] Obeisance to the light of Ātman [viz., Ātmapradīpa], richly endowed with the happiness of liberation, of the form of knowledge. Obeisance to Thee, the all-pervasive Lord”.
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.
