Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationGādhija (गाधिज) refers to “Gādhi’s son” and is used to describe sage Viśvāmitra, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.3 (“The boyhood sports of Kārttikeya”).—Accordingly, after Śiva’s son spoke to sage Viśvāmitra: “On hearing his words, Gādhi’s son (Viśvāmitra) [i.e., gādhija] was highly delighted and surprised. He spoke to him in a tone, by no means highly accented”.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
