Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBhaktakāryakara (भक्तकार्यकर) refers to “one who is always carrying out the tasks of the devotees” and is used to describe Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.31 (“Description of Śiva’s magic”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogised Śiva: “O great lord, lord of gods, O Śiva, the merciful, we seek refuge in you. Be sympathetic. Obeisance be to you. O lord, you are favourably disposed to your devotees, always carrying out their tasks (bhaktakāryakara). You are the uplifter of the distressed, and an ocean of mercy. You save us from all our miseries and distresses”.
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.
