Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJīvadāna (जीवदान) refers to “one who conferred life (on Indra)” and is used to describe Bṛhaspati, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.13 (“Resuscitation of Indra”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Bṛhaspati: “O dear one, I am delighted by your eulogy. I shall grant you the excellent boon. Henceforth you shall be famous as Enlivener because you have conferred life (jīvadāna) on Indra. I shall cast off this fire born of my eye in the forehead intended to kill Indra lest it should afflict him”.
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.
