Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationAvadhyatā (अवध्यता) refers to “(being) invincible”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.3 (“The virtues of the three cities—Tripura).—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu thought to himself: “There is no doubt in this that the virtuous ones cannot be destroyed by black magic. O good gods, these Asuras and the other residents of the three cities are virtuous. Hence they have become invincible (avadhyatā). Not in any other manner. [...]”.
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 to German]
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.
