Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPūrṇabhāga (पूर्णभाग) refers to a “full (sacrificial) share”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.43.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] permitted by Śiva and with his blessings, O sage, Dakṣa the devotee of Śiva, with a delighted heart completed his sacrifice. He allotted the full share (i.e., pūrṇabhāga) to Śiva and gave the gods their respective shares (i.e., bhāga). He gave charitable gifts to the Brahmins and secured the good blessings of Śiva”.
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.
