Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMitradroha (मित्रद्रोह) refers to “commiting malicious deeds to one’s friends”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.3 (“The virtues of the three cities—Tripura).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to the Gods: “[...] How can I knowingly commit malicious deeds to my friends (mitradroha) though I am hardy and powerful in battles? Even Brahmā has said that there is a great sin attending on even casual malicious actions. There are ways of atonement and amends for a brahmin slayer, a wine addict, a thief or a person who violates sacred rites. But there is no expiation for ungrateful men. [...]”
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.
