Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaKirātārjunīya (किरातार्जुनीय).—During the life in exile in the forest of the Pāṇḍavas, Arjuna performed penance to propitiate Śiva in the Himālayas. Disguised as a forest-hunter Śiva appeared on the scene and tested Arjuna’s valour. Arjuna won in the test and was presented the Pāśupatāstra by Śiva. The story is told in Chapter 167 of the Vana Parva. (See under Arjuna).
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
