Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Shodhganga: The saurapurana - a critical studyBhūtādi (भूतादि) or Bhūtādyahaṃkāra refers to one of the three forms of ahaṃkāra, originating from mahat, according to the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—[...] The pradhāna covers the mahat just as a seed is covered by the skin. Being so covered there spring from the three fold mahat the threefold ahaṃkāra called vaikārika, taijasa and bhūtādi or tāmasa.
From this bhūtādi or tāmasa-ahamkara which is covered by the mahat, there springs through its spontaneous self-modification the śabda-tanmātra and by the same process there springs from that śabdatanmātra, the ākāśa the gross element. Again the bhūtādi covers up the śabda-tanmātra and the ākāśa differentiated form it as the gross element. The ākāśa being thus conditioned , produces spontaneously by self modification the sparśatanmātra which produces immediately and directly the gross vāyu . The bhūtādi again covers up the ākāśa, śabda-tanmātra, sparśa-tanmātra and the differentiated vāyu which then produces the rūpa-tanmātra which immediately produces the gross light (teja).

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.
