In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJñānagamya (ज्ञानगम्य) refers to that which is “known through knowledge” (i.e., Śiva), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.43.—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Dakṣa:—“[...] I am the knower of Self. I can be known through knowledge (i.e., jñānagamya) by those who have mastered Vedānta and the Vedas. Deluded men engrossed in rituals alone cannot attain me through the Vedas, sacrifices, gifts or austerities. You wished to cross the ocean of worldly existence by observance of rituals alone. That was why I became angry and caused the destruction of the sacrifice”.
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.
