Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationKuvarṇana (कुवर्णन) refers to “described someone in bad taste ”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.19 (“Kāma’s destruction by Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Śiva thought to himself: “How is it that obstacles have cropped up while I am performing the great penance? Who can be that wicked person who has made my mind highly perturbed? With love I have described in bad taste [i.e., kuvarṇana] another man’s woman. I have contravened rules of virtue and transgressed the bounds of the Vedas”.
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.
