Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBadarīphala (बदरीफल) refers to the Jujube tree according to the Śivapurāṇa 1.25, while explaining the greatness of Rudrākṣa:—“[...] A Rudrākṣa of the size of an Emblic myrobalan (Dhātrīphala) is mentioned as the most excellent; one of the size of the fruit of the jujube tree (Badarīphala) is spoken of as the middling. [...] O Maheśvarī, even the Rudrākṣa which is only of the size of the fruit of the Jujube (Badarīphala) accords the benefit and heightens happiness and good fortune”.
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.
