Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKrośamāna (क्रोशमान) refers to “shrieking”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.21 (“Description of the Special War”).—Accordingly, as Jalandhara fought with Śiva’s Gaṇas: “[...] Then the king of the Daityas leapt up to him with a great iron club. That powerful warrior reached very near Vīrabhadra very quickly. The heroic and powerful son of the ocean hit Vīrabhadra on his head with his great iron club. He then roared. Vīrabhadra, the leader of the Gaṇas, fell on the ground with his head shattered by the iron club and shed much blood. On seeing Vīrabhadra fallen, the terrified Gaṇas abandoned the battle ground shrieking (krośamāna) and fled to lord Śiva. [...]”.
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.

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.
