Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSādhusaṅga (साधुसङ्ग) refers to “one who is associated with saintly men”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Indra said to Ghasmara (messenger of Jalandhara): “[...] Formerly the Asura Śaṅkha the son of the ocean was stupid enough to be inimical to me. He was spared by me because he was associated with saintly men (sādhusaṅga). But when his predilection became sinful and he became violent towards saintly men, he was killed in the interior of the ocean by Viṣṇu, my younger brother. Hence O messenger, go immediately and explain to the Asura, son of the ocean, our purpose for churning the ocean”.
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.
