Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKarmarajju (कर्मरज्जु) refers to the “rope of activities” where Karma refers to the “activities” that are carried on by the body (śārira), as defined in the Śivapurāṇa 1.18. Accordingly, “[...] the body (śārira) carries on activities (karma). The activities generate the body. Thus birth and activities continue in a series. [...] The Jīva experiences happiness as a result of virtue and misery as a result of sin. The Jīva bound by the rope of activities (karmarajju) revolves round and round for ever like a wheel (cakra) by means of the three types of body (śārira-traya) and their activities (karma).”.
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.
