Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Praṇāśin (प्रणाशिन्) (or Praṇāśinī) refers to “that which destroys (all sins)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.1 (“The dalliance of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “O Nārada, listen to the tale of Śiva, the moon-crested lord. I shall narrate the story of Guha’s birth and the slaying of the demon Tāraka. Let it be heard. I shall tell you the story that destroys all sins (pāpa-praṇāśinī), on hearing which a man is freed from all sins. This narrative is sinless. It is a wonderful secret. It dispels the distress caused by sin and wards off all obstacles. [...]”.

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.
