Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPaṅktibheda (पङ्क्तिभेद) refers to “having violated the sanctity of the vows” (for drinking), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.9 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Tāraka-Asura said to the Gods: “[...] The Asuras Madhu and Kaiṭabha were beheaded by his roguishness. He forsook the Vedic path. When the gods and Asuras sat for drinking the nectar it was he who violated the sanctity of the vows (paṅktibheda) when he assumed the form of an enchantress. Thus he slighted the Vedic path. [...]”.
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.
