Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDurātman (दुरात्मन्) refers to an “evil-minded person”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.28. Accordingly as Satī said to Śiva:—“[...] O Śiva, lord of all, you by whom sacrifice becomes fruitful have not been invited by my father, thus he has committed a foul deed. Hence, O Śiva, I wish to know the trend of thought of that evil-minded person (durātman) as well as that of the celestial sages and all other wicked persons assembled there”.
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.
