In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Parapīḍā (परपीडा) refers to the “being harassed by others”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā”).—Accordingly, as Vṛnda (wife of Jalandhara) said to the Sage: “O leader of sages, O ocean of mercy, O remover of harassment from others (parapīḍā-nivāraka), I have been saved by you from this terrible danger from the wicked demons. You are competent in every respect. You are omniscient. Yet I wish to submit something. Be pleased to hear it. O lord, Jalandhara my husband has gone to fight Śiva. O holy one of good rites, how does he fare in the war? Please tell me”.
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.
