Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKusaṅgavaśaga (कुसङ्गवशग) refers to “being associated with bad men”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā”).—Accordingly, as Vṛnda (wife of Jalandhara) lamented after seeing her (seemingly) dead husband: “[...] How is it that you, by whom all the gods including the Gandharvas and Viṣṇu had been defeated, you who had conquered the three worlds, have now been killed by a poor sage? O excellent Daitya, you did not know the reality of Śiva nor did you pay heed to my words ‘Śiva is Supreme Brahman’. Having served you I found that it was not due to haughtiness but due to your association with bad men (kusaṅgavaśaga) that you did all this [garvitena tvayā naiva kusaṃgavaśagena hi]”.
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.
