Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Yoga Vasishtha MaharamayanaPrasravadrudhira (प्रस्रवद्रुधिर) (Cf. Sravadrudhira) refers to “spouting with blood”, as mentioned in the Yogavasistha 4.27 (“Admonition of brahma”).—Accordingly: “As the war of the gods and Titans, was raging violently on both sides, and their bodies were pierced by the weapons of one another:—[...] The Daityas waged their battle with the rage of the midday sun, and put to flight the Airavata elephant of Indra—the leader of the gods. The Devas dropped down with their bodies gored with wounds, and spouting with blood [i.e., prasravadrudhira]; and their armies fled on all sides, like the currents of a river overflowing and breaking down its bank. [...]”.
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.
