In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation1) Avikārin (अविकारिन्) refers to “whose form is naturally undecaying”, and represents an epithet of Śiva used in Sandhyā’s eulogy of Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.6. Accordingly:—“[...] Directly perceiving the lord of Durgā she [viz., Sandhyā] eulogised the lord of the worlds: [...] Obeisance to Thee whose form is solitary, pure, luminous, free from illusion, knowledge-cum-bliss, naturally (sahaja) undecaying (avikārin), eternal bliss, delighted at the outcome of truth and prosperity and productive of glory”.
2) Avikārin (अविकारिन्) refers to the “unchanging (sage)” and is used to describe Nārada, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.16 (“The head of Gaṇeśa is chopped off”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] O Nārada, when the head of Gaṇeśa was cut off, the armies of the gods and the Gaṇas stood still. You, Nārada, then came and acquainted Pārvatī with the matter—‘O proud woman, listen. You shall not cast off your pride and prestige’. O Nārada, saying this, you, fond of quarrels, vanished from there. You are the unchanging (avikārin) sage and a follower of the inclinations of Śiva”.
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.
