In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPitṛbhakti (पितृभक्ति) refers to “devotion to one’s father”, which is preferred above wickedness (durvṛtta), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.17. Accordingly, as Guṇanidhi, who was addicted to gambling (dyūta), was told by his mother as follows:—“[...] emulate your father [Yajñadatta] in form (rūpa), fame (yaśas) and traditional activity (kulaśīla). Why don’t you feel ashamed? Cast off your wickedness (durvṛtta). [...] Above all be devoted to your father (pitṛbhakti). You shall respect your father-in-law also, in view of his good qualities and conduct (sadvṛtta). How is it that you do not feel ashamed of wickedness (durvṛtta)?”.
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.
