Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSamālokya (समालोक्य) refers to “having seen someone (arriving)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.18 (“The conversation between Nārada and Jalandhara”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] The great lord [i.e., Śiva], the bestower of all desires to his devotees called Nārada and commissioned him with a desire to carry out the task of the gods. Then the celestial sage, the wise devotee of Śiva, the goal of the good, went to the gods in the city of the Asuras at the bidding of Śiva. On seeing (samālokya) the sage Nārada coming, the distressed gods, Indra and others, stood up. [...]”.
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.
