Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Shodhganga: The saurapurana - a critical study1) Bhūtasarga (भूतसर्ग) refers to the “creation of five subtle elements”, according to the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—The first entity to originate from Brahmā is Mahat. Next comes the creation of five subtle elements originating form ahaṃkāra predominated by tamas which is also called Bhūtasarga.
2) Bhūtasarga (भूतसर्ग) in another theory of creation, this refers to the eighth creation of Brahmā coming after the creation of human beings (arvāksrotas), according to the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—The creation of the human beings known as arvāksrotas is seventh in order. As in this creation the current of nutriment tends downwards, it is called arvāksrotas. Brahmā further meditated, as a result bhūtasarga came out. This is the eighth creation. The kaumāra is the ninth creation.
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, 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.
