Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPratāpavat (प्रतापवत्) refers to “powerful” and is used to describe sage Viśvāmitra, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.3 (“The boyhood sports of Kārttikeya”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “O dear, then the powerful (pratāpavat) sage Viśvāmitra, urged by Brahmā, came there casually and was delighted. On seeing the unearthly splendour of that brilliant boy, he became very delighted. He bowed to the boy. With a delighted mind he eulogised him with the words prompted by Brahmā. Viśvāmitra realised his power. The boy too was delighted and became the source of great enjoyment. Laughingly he spoke to Viśvāmitra. It was very surprising. [...]”.
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.
