In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Kampamāna (कम्पमान) refers to “tremblingly”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.35 (“The story of Padmā and Pippalāda”).—Accordingly, after Padmā (wife of sage Pippalāda) spoke to Dharma (in the guise of a king): “On hearing the curse of the chaste woman, O lord of mountains, Dharma cast off the guise of a king and assumed his real form. Tremblingly (kampamāna) he spoke thus—‘[...]’”.
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.
