In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Gulmaka (गुल्मक).—The uncle of Guṇāḍhya. Guṇāḍhya is the author of the famous book 'Bṛhatkathā'. In the city of Supratiṣṭhita there was a brahmin named Somaśarmā who had three children, namely, Vatsa, Gulmaka and Śrutārtha. Guṇāḍhya was the son of Śrutārtha (Taraṅga 6, Kathāpiṭhalaṃbaka, Kathāsaritsāgara).
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, 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.
