In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJyotiṣṭoma (ज्योतिष्टोम) is the name of a sacrifice of many great rites, as mentioned in the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.6. Accordingly, as Śiva said to Sandhyā:—“[...] The river Candrabhāgā arose being created by Brahmā for the redemption of the moon from the curse. It was then that Medhātithi arrived here. There is none equal to him in penance. There has never been such a person, nor will there ever be one. He has now started the sacrifice of Jyotiṣṭoma of many great rites. In that blazing sacrificial fire you shall cast off your body. You are pure now. May your other desires be also fulfilled”.
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.
