Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPāpanāśin (पापनाशिन्) (Cf. Pāpanāśinī) refers to “that which destroys our sins altogether”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.19 (“Kāma’s destruction by Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Brahmā: “O Brahmā, the most fortunate one, what happened then? Be pleased to tell me that story that destroys our sins altogether [i.e., pāpanāśinī]”.
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.
