Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJīvanāvadhi (जीवनावधि) refers to the “time of one’s life” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.35 (“The story of Padmā and Pippalāda”).—Accordingly, as Dharma said to Padmā (wife of sage Pippalāda): “O chaste lady, you are blessed, you are devotedly attached to your husband. [...] Let him be a devotee of Śiva on a par with Viṣṇu. Let him be a greater Siddha than Kapila. Let him vie with Bṛhaspati in intelligence and with Brahmā in equanimity. You will be blessed with all the fortunes of your master as long as you live (jīvanāvadhi). Also you will be perpetually young. [...]”.
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.
