In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Guruśuśrūṣā (गुरुशुश्रूषा) refers to “service rendered to the preceptor”, as mentioned in the Śivapurāṇa 1.18. Accordingly, “[...] hence the intelligent devotee shall know that the physical body of the preceptor is known as Guruliṅga the worship of which is service rendered to the preceptor (guru-śuśrūṣā). The word ‘service’ (śuśrūṣā) means an obedience to the order through body, mind and speech. A disciple (śiṣya) with a pure soul shall of necessity carry out the order of the preceptor risking his life and staking his possessions even if the task is not within his power”.
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.
