Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Pārakya (पारक्य) refers to something “separate from one’s own self”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.43.—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Dakṣa:—“O patriarch, listen to another statement of mine with a clear conscience. Although it is based on the qualitative aspect it is esoteric. [...] In that supreme, sole, universal God which is the pure Self, the ignorant sees different living beings, Brahman, Īśvara etc. Even as an ordinary man does not consider his head, hands and other limbs as separate from his own self (pārakya) so also my follower does not feel separateness about the living beings”.

context information

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.
