Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationParipoṣaṇa (परिपोषण) refers to “nurturing oneself”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.4 (“Search for Kārttikeya and his conversation with Nandin”).—Accordingly, as Nandīśvara said to Kārttikeya and the Kṛttikās: “[...] In the matter of omnipresence in the universe you alone are Viṣṇu, O Śiva’s son. The all-pervading sky is not pervaded by anything else. A Yogin is not entangled in the activities of nurturing himself (paripoṣaṇa). The soul is not involved in the physical activities. [...]”.
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.
