Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Krodhamaya (क्रोधमय) refers to “furious”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.20 (“The story of the submarine fire”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “On hearing that I pondered over the reason for the same, and remembering Śiva humbly I went there in order to protect the three worlds. That fire, out to burn everything, very brilliant with its shooting flames, was thwarted by me as I had the capacity by Śiva’s grace. O sage, then I made that fire of fury [i.e., krodhamaya], out to burn the three worlds, tender in its blaze and mare-like in shape. [...]”.

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.
