In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaDarbhi (दर्भि).—An ancient hermit. This hermit built a tīrtha (bath) named Ardhakīla in Kurukṣetra. It is believed that anybody who bathed in this place and fasted could learn the mantras (spells and incantations) and become a Brāhmaṇa. It occurs in the Purāṇas that the hermit Darbhi has brought the four oceans to this bath. (Mahābhārata Vana Parva, Chapter 83, Stanza 54).
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.
