Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaPum (पुम्).—(Put, Putra) Pum alias Put is a hell. Those who die without children go to this hell and he who saves one from this hell is called Putra. (Śloka 38, Chapter 74, Ādi Parva).
"puṃnāmno narakādyastu trāyate pitaraṃ sutaḥ / tasmāt putra iti proktaḥ svayameva svayambhuvā //" (Śloka 138, Chapter 9, Manusmṛti). (See full article at Story of Pum from the Puranic encyclopaedia by Vettam Mani)
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.
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarPum (पुम्).—Or पुंस् (puṃs) masculine. It appears that both पुभ् (pubh), and पुंस् (puṃs) were current terms meaning 'masculine ' in ancient days. cf. पुमः खय्यम्परे (pumaḥ khayyampare) P.VIII. 3.12. and पुंसोसुङ् (puṃsosuṅ) P. VII. 1.89. Although पुभ् (pubh) is changed to पुंस् (puṃs) before a word beginning with a hard consonant, still पुंस् (puṃs) is given as an independent word derived from the root पा (pā) cf. पातेर्डुम्सुन् (pāterḍumsun) Unādi S IV. 177; cf. also the expressions पुंवचन, पुंलिङ्ग (puṃvacana, puṃliṅga) and पुंयोग (puṃyoga).
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
