Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSaccitsvarūpa (सच्चित्स्वरूप) refers to “one who is the (great) existent and cosmic consciousness” and is used to describe Kumāra / Kārttikeya (i.e., Śiva’s son), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.6 (“The miraculous feat of Kārttikeya”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin named Nārada said to Kumāra (Kārttikeya): “[...] You love devotees as your own vital air. You are the receptacle of all attributes. You are beyond three attributes. You are the beloved of Śiva. You are Śiva Himself. You confer welfare. You are the bestower of happiness with delight. You are the great Existent and cosmic consciousness (saccitsvarūpa) [saccitsvarūpo mahān]. You are the son of Śiva, the omniscient who destroyed the three cities of Asuras. [...]”.
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.
