Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaCaṇḍakauśika (चण्डकौशिक).—A muni, son of Kakśivān, the son of Gautama. Bṛhadratha, King of Magadha, was having no issues when, one day, Caṇḍakauśika went to the palace and blessed the King as a result of which a son called Jarāsandha was born to him. Caṇḍakauśika continued to live at Magadha for long as the preceptor of the kings of that land. (See Jarāsandha).
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.
