Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKavisahāyavat (कविसहायवत्) refers to “one who has the support and assistance of Bhargava” and is used to describe Jalandhara, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Ghasmara said to Indra: “Jalandhara, the son of the ocean, is the lord and emperor of all the Asuras. He is excessively heroic and valorous. He has the support and assistance of Bhargava (kavisahāyavat). I am his emissary. I have been sent by him. I have come to you here. My name is Ghasmara but I am not a devourer. He is of exalted intellect. His behest has never been defied. He has defeated all the enemies of Asuras. Please listen to what he says”.
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.
