Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationLavaṇāmbhas (लवणाम्भस्) refers to the “briny ocean”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.13 (“Resuscitation of Indra”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to Bṛhaspati: “On saying this he held that wonderful brilliance born of the eye in the forehead and cast it off in the briny ocean (lavaṇāmbhas). Then the lord Rudra of great divine sports vanished from the scene. Bṛhaspati and Indra were relieved of their fright and they became happy. After having the immediate perception of Śiva for which they had come here, Bṛhaspati and Indra became contented and went away to their abodes joyously”.
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, 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.
