Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKrodhāviṣṭa (क्रोधाविष्ट) refers to one who is “furious” (i.e., one afflicted by anger), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.19. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] thus in many ways, the timid and frightened Devas and the sages eulogised the lord of Devas [viz., Maheśvara or Śiva] who was furious (krodhāviṣṭa). Suspecting some terrible disaster, Dakṣa raised his hand and rushed at Śiva, preventing Him with shouts of ‘O don’t do this, O don’t do this’”.
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.
