Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation1) Saṃhati (संहति) refers to the “destruction (of the Gods)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.3 (“The virtues of the three cities—Tripura).—Accordingly, as the Gods said to Viṣṇu: “How are we to go about our activities. How can our misery be dispelled? How can we be happy? How are we to remain firm? As long as the Tripuras are alive, how can we observe virtuous activities? All the residents of the three cities give troubles to us. What else can we say to you? Either the annihilation of the Tripuras shall be made or the untimely destruction of the gods (deva-saṃhati) shall be proceeded with”
2) Saṃhati (संहति) refer to “bundles (of grass)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.20 (“The fight between the Gaṇas and the Asuras”).—Accordingly, as Jalandhara laid siege to Kailāsa: “[...] On seeing Bhārgava seized, the invincible armies of the Daityas became dejected and faded in their faces. They fled from the battle ground. The army of the Daityas became scattered and split in their terrific fear of the Gaṇas like bundles of grass (tṛṇa-saṃhati) split and scattered when blown by the wind. On seeing the army of the Daityas thus dispersed and frightened of the Gaṇas, the leaders Śumbha and Niśumbha and Kālanemi became infuriated. [...]”.
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.
