In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDuśceṣṭita (दुश्चेष्टित) refers to “evil propensities”, which is abhorred against humble behaviour (vinayocita), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.17. Accordingly, as Guṇanidhi, who was addicted to gambling (dyūta), was told by his mother as follows:—“[...] see the Brahmin boys of your neighbourhood. Even in our house see the disciples of your father. How humbly do they behave (vinayocita)? Dear son, if the king hears of your evil propensities (duśceṣṭita), he will cease to respect your father and may even suspend the regular maintenance allowance. Till now people used to call your activities the foolish blunders of an ignorant boy (bālaceṣṭita). Hereafter they may take away the traditional title of Dīkṣita”.
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.
