In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚarajanman (शरजन्मन्) refers to “one born amongst the reeds” and is used to describe Kumāra (or Kārttikeya—Śiva’s son), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.11 (“The Victory of Kumāra”).—Accordingly, as Krauñca said to Kārttikeya: “O Kumāra, O Skanda, O lord of gods, O slayer of the Asura Tāraka protect me who have sought refuge in you. I am harassed by the Asura Bāṇa. O Mahāsena, O lord, O merciful one, routed and uprooted from the battle with you he came and harassed me. Afflicted by him I have run from him and sought refuge in you. O lord of gods, born amongst the reeds (śarajanman), be merciful. O lord, please slay the Asura Bāṇa. Make me happy. You are the slayer of Asuras and a special saviour of the gods. You are a self-ruler. [...]”.
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.
