Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Ekāgrībhūta (एकाग्रीभूत) refers to “becoming concentrated” (in dance), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.22 (“Description of Jalandhara’s Battle”).—Accordingly, after Jalandhara confused Śiva: “[...] On seeing Śiva concentrated (ekāgrībhūta) in the dance Jalandhara urged by lust immediately went to the place where Gaurī stood. He entrusted the powerful Śumbha and Niśumbha with the conduct of war. With his demonaic Māyā he assumed the form of Śiva—with ten brawny arms, five faces, three eyes, and matted hair. He was seated on the great bull. In every respect, O Vyāsa, Jalandhara appeared like Śiva. [...]”.
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.
