Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSarvatīrtha (सर्वतीर्थ) refers to “all the holy centres”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.5 (“Kārttikeya is crowned”).—Accordingly, after the Kṛttikās spoke to Kārttikeya: “[...] Then Śiva, the lord of the universe, following the worldly convention delightedly placed Kārttikeya on a beautiful gemset throne. With hundreds of gemset pots filled with the waters of holy centres (sarvatīrtha-udapūrṇaka) sanctified by Vedic mantras he performed his ceremonial ablution joyously. Viṣṇu gave him a crown, a coronet and bracelets moulded and set in gems, his own necklace Vaijayanti and the discus. [...]”.
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.
