Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaKukardama (कुकर्दम).—A wicked monarch of Piṇḍārakadeśa. He had to be born in Pretayoni (womb of a ghostess) due to his many sins, and once he came to the āśrama of Kahoḍa, and the sage recognised him as his former disciple and absolved him from his ghosthood. (Padma Purāṇa, Uttara Khaṇḍa, Chapter 139).
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.
