Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPrasnuta (प्रस्नुत) refers to “oozing (of breast milk)” , according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.5 (“Kārttikeya is crowned”).—Accordingly, after the Kṛttikās spoke to Kārttikeya: “[...] On seeing Pārvatī and Śiva, Kārttikeya got down from the chariot immediately and saluted them. Embracing him with love, Śiva kissed Kumāra on the head. He, the cause of great affection, was highly delighted. Embracing him in great excitement and melting with love, Pārvatī suckled him at her breasts (prasnuta) [prasnutaṃ pāyayāmāsa stanaṃ]. [...]”.
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.
