Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSakutūhala (सकुतूहल) refers to “(being) anxious (to witness something)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.23 (“Attempt of Himavat to dissuade Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu spoke to the Gods and others: “Thus urged by the great lord Viṣṇu they set out desirous of seeing the Pināka-bearing lord Śiva. At first Viṣṇu and others who were anxious to see [i.e., sakutūhala] the penance of Pārvatī went to her hermitage which was on the way. On seeing the excellent penance of Pārvatī and being enveloped by her refulgence they bowed to her who was engaged in penance and who had brilliant features. [...]”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). 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.
