Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationParikṣaya (परिक्षय) refers to “dwindling down”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.5 (“The Tripuras are fascinated).—Accordingly, as Arihan said to the Lord of the Three Cities: “[...] The Earth is burdened by those who are not ready to please and satisfy the suppliant. It is not burdened by oceans, mountains and trees. The body is ready to go in a trice, and hoarded things are attended with the risk of dwindling down (sa-parikṣaya). Realising this a sensible man shall see to the pleasure of his body. It is mentioned in the Vedas that this body is going to constitute the breakfast for dogs, crows and worms. The body has its ultimate end in being reduced to ashes. [...]”.
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.
