Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPraharṣamāṇa (प्रहर्षमाण) refers to “being (very) jubilant”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.8 (“The battle between the gods and Asuras”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The Asuras too, the dependants of the demon Tāraka, all equally strong and heroic, began to smash the Gaṇas furiously. The terrific mutual fights between the demons and the Gaṇas happened again and again. Ultimately the Gaṇas, experts in the use of great missiles, came out victorious and were jubilant (praharṣamāṇa). Defeated by the Gaṇas of great strength, the Asuras turned their faces and began to flee. They were distressed and agitated. [...]”.
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.
