In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Pramuci (प्रमुचि).—(pramuca) A sage who lived in Dakṣiṇabhārata. (Śloka 29, Chapter 208, Śānti Parva).
Pramuci (प्रमुचि) refers to “becoming free from (sickness)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.20 (“The celebration of Gaṇeśa’s marriage”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Whoever reads, teaches, listens or narrates this story derives all desires. No doubt need be entertained in this respect. A brahmin derives brahminical splendour, a Kṣatriya becomes victorious, a Vaiśya prosperous and a Śūdra attains equality with the good. A sick man becomes free from (pramuci) sickness; a frightened man becomes free from fear; no man is harassed by the visitation of goblins, ghosts etc. [...]”.
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.
