Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPativaṃśya (पतिवंश्य) refers to the “family of the husband”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.54 (“Description of the duties of the chaste wife”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin lady said to Pārvatī: “[...] The three families—that of the father, that of the mother and that of the husband (pativaṃśya)—enjoy the pleasures of heaven due to the merit of the chaste woman. Disloyal women cause the downfall of the three families, that of the father, mother and husband and become distressed here and hereafter. [...]”.
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.
