Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationMunisattama (मुनिसत्तम) refers to an “excellent sage”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.28 (“Description of the fraudulent words of the Brahmacārin”).—Accordingly, after Śiva said to Pārvatī after revealing his form: “When the lord of the gods spoke in this way, Pārvatī rejoiced. Whatever distress she had felt during penance she cast off as something old. O excellent sage (munisattama), her weariness subsided. In fact, when the fruit is realised, the exertion felt during the process of undertaking perishes”.
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.
