Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDevopāsya (देवोपास्य) or Pañcadevopāsya refers to “one who is worshipped by the (five) deities”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.10 (“The burning of the Tripuras”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] [Śiva] is independent, the great Brahman, both possessed and devoid of attributes. He is invisible, the supreme soul and unsullied. He is the soul of five divinities. He is worshipped by the five deities (pañca-devopāsya). He is the great lord. There is none else worthy of worship. He is the ultimate abode of all. Or, O sage, the activities of Śiva, the lord of the Gods, the granter of boons are but proper inasmuch as they constitute his divine sports. [...]”.
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.
