Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationProttuṅga (प्रोत्तुङ्ग) refers to the “loftiness” (viz., of the breasts), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.21. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] When they [viz., Śiva’s Gaṇas (attendants)] went away and He was left alone with Satī, Śiva rejoiced much and sported with her. [...] Even as she was looking on, sometimes he would come to her lofty (prottuṅga) breasts (kuca) saying with laughter, this dark spot ‘Kālikā’ on your breasts is your companion of the same colour as it contains the same letters as are found in your name ‘Kālikā’”.
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.

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.
