Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSāṅkhyadhārin (साङ्ख्यधारिन्) (Cf. Sāṅkhyadhāriṇī) refers to “one who supports the Sāṅkhya philosophy”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Pārvatī: “O Pārvatī, O upholder of the Sāṃkhya system [i.e., sāṅkhyadhāriṇī], if you say so, O sweet-voiced lady, you render me unforbidden service every day. If I am the Brahman, the supreme lord, unsullied by illusion, comprehensible through spiritual knowledge and the master of illusion what will you do then?”.
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.
