Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKartṛkarman (कर्तृकर्मन्) refers to “that which has a creator and objects of creation”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.5 (“The Tripuras are fascinated).—Accordingly, as Arihan said to the Lord of the Three Cities: “O ruler of the Asuras, listen to my statement, pregnant with wisdom. It is the essence of the Vedānta and bears high esoteric importance. The entire universe is eternal. It has no creator nor it is an object of creation (kartṛkarma-vivarjita). It evolves itself and gets annihilated by itself. There are many bodies from Brahmā down to a blade of grass. They themselves are the gods for them. There is no other God. [...]”.
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.
