Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKarmarūpin (कर्मरूपिन्) refers to those who “depend on actions”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.35. Accordingly, as Viṣṇu said to Dakṣa:—“[...] depending upon Knowledge alone if they eschew devotion to God they will fall into hell and remain there for hundreds of crores of Kalpas. Those who solely depend on actions [viz., karmarūpin] are bound by its nooses, are born in lives after lives and are finally scorched and tortured in hells”.
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.
