In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Samāyāta (समायात) refers to “(having) come near (someone)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to the Gods and others: “O great gods, Viṣṇu, Brahmā and others, why have you come [i.e., samāyāta] near me? Mention the reason for the same”.
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.

Samāyāta (समायात) in the Sanskrit language is related to the Prakrit word: Samāyāya.
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.
