Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKlībamata (क्लीबमत) refers to “impotent wretches”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to his attendants: “Hello, Gaṇas, impotent wretches (klībamata), you profess to be heroic but are never so. You are unfit to stand before me and speak. If he is only taunted he will speak in similar tone again. Go and beat him. Some one among you may be competent to do so. Why should I speak more? He must be driven away”.
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.
