In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDoṣin (दोषिन्) refers to “(one who is) defective”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.9 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Tāraka-Asura said to the Gods: “How is it that you all kept Kumāra face to face with me? You gods are shameless especially Indra and Viṣṇu. Formerly, both of them had acted in violation of the Vedic path. Listen. I shall describe the same. Viṣṇu is deceptive, defective (doṣin) and indiscreet. It was by him that Bali was formerly bound by taking recourse to deception with sinful intention. [...]”.
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.
