Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJñāyamāna (ज्ञायमान) refers to “whatever is being realised”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.6 (“Prayer to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “Obeisance to you, the soul of all, obeisance to Śiva the remover of distress, [...] What they call the great soul in the universe, O lord, are you yourself, O Śiva soul of all, ruler of the three worlds (trilokādhipati). Whatever is seen, heard or eulogised, whatever is being realised (jñāyamāna), O preceptor of the universe, are you alone. They call you minuter than the atom and greater than the greatest. [...]”.
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.
