Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKṣīyamāṇa (क्षीयमाण) refers to “being pale and weak”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.4 (“The Tripuras are initiated).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “For causing obstacles in their virtuous activities, Viṣṇu of great brilliance, created a Puruṣa born of himself. He had a shaven head, wore dirty clothes, held a woven wicker vessel in his hand and a roll of cotton in his hand which he shook at every step. His hands tucking at the cloth were weak. His face was pale and weak (kṣīyamāṇa). In a faltering voice he was muttering—‘Dharma, Dharma’. [...]”.
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.

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.
