Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKumāratva (कुमारत्व) refers to a “bachelor”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.20 (“The celebration of Gaṇeśa’s marriage”).—Accordingly, as Kārttikeya went to the Krauñca mountain: “[...] Kārttikeya went away saying so. Even today he is staying there removing the sin of all by his very vision. Ever since that day, O celestial sage, the son of Śiva, Kārttikeya remains a bachelor (kumāratva). His name bestows auspiciousness in the world. It is famous in the three worlds. It dispels all sins, is meritorious and confers the sanctity of celibacy. [...]”.
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 to German]
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.
