Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDivyasindhu (दिव्यसिन्धु) refers to the “celestial Sindhu”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.13. Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada:—“[...] advised by their father, O dear one, the sons of Dakṣa [viz., the Haryaśvas] went in the western direction for penance in order to create subjects (progeny). There they came to the holy lake Nārāyaṇa where the celestial Sindhu [viz., divyasindhu] has its confluence with the ocean. On touching the holy water, their intellect was sharpened. The Dharma of holy ascetics eradicated all their impurities”.
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.
