In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationNimiṣakṣetra (निमिषक्षेत्र) is the name of a sacred place mentioned in the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.35. Accordingly, as Viṣṇu said to Dakṣa:—“[...] O Dakṣa, protection shall be offered to your sacrifice. My promise of protecting Dharma is truly well known. You have stated the truth, but you have transgressed the same. O Dakṣa listen, I shall tell you. Cast off your cruelty. What transpired at Naimiṣa, the holy place (i.e., Nimiṣakṣetra) in a surprisingly mysterious manner is evidently not remembered by you, O Dakṣa. Did you forget it in your evil way?”.
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.
