Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKṣeptum (क्षेप्तुम्) means “to cast away” (one’s fury), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.13 (“Resuscitation of Indra”).—Accordingly, as Bṛhaspati said to Śiva: “O holy lord, indeed the devotees should be pitied always. O Śiva, thus please make your name Bhaktavatsala (favourably disposed towards the devotees) true. O lord of gods, you deserve to cast (kṣeptum) elsewhere the fierce brilliance. O uplifter of all devotees, raise up Indra”.
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.
