Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Sāravid (सारविद्) refers to “one who knows the essence (of Śrutis)” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.6 (“Prayer to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “Obeisance to you, the soul of all, obeisance to Śiva the remover of distress, [...] The Śrutis and those who know the essence of Śrutis speak of you thus. You are the abode of all, the self-born and the knower of the essence (sāravid) of Śrutis [śrutayaḥ śrutisārajñaṃ śrutisāravidaśca ye]. The various living beings created by you and to be created in future are invisible to us. The gods, the Asuras, the brahmins, nay, the mobile and immobile beings eulogise you alone. [...]”.

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.
