Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKāryakṛt (कार्यकृत्) refers to “carrying out the task” (of the Gods), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.2 (“The birth of Śiva’s son”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “Cursing Viṣṇu and other gods, Pārvatī furiously told Agni who had swallowed Śiva’s semen. [Pārvatī said]:—‘O Agni, be the devourer of everything and let your soul be afflicted. You are a fool. You do not know Śiva’s fundamental principles. You have come forward to carry out the task of the gods (sura-kāryakṛt). It is neither proper nor beneficent to you to have eaten up Śiva’s semen. You are a rogue, a wretched vile, paying heed to the wicked counsel of the wicked’”.
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.
