In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationLaṅghita (लङ्घित) (Cf. Vilaṅghita) refers to “transgressing” (the bounds of the Vedas), 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 another man’s woman. I have contravened rules of virtue and transgressed [i.e., vi-laṅghita] 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.
