Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKrīḍāsthāna (क्रीडास्थान) refers to “playing grounds”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.1 (“Description of Tripura—the three cities).—Accordingly, after Maya built the three cities: “[...] There were time-indicators, playgrounds (krīḍāsthāna) and different halls for Vedic studies. There were persons of various types—sinners, virtuous, pious, noble and those of good conduct too. The place was sanctified everywhere by chaste ladies engaged in serving their husbands and averse to evil practices. [...]”.
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.
