Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚivanirmālya (शिवनिर्माल्य) refers to the “offerings of eatables made to Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.18.—Accordingly, as Yama’s attendants (yamagaṇas) said to Śiva’s attendants (śivagaṇas):—“[...] those who consume (bhoktṛ) or outrage (laṅghaka) the offerings of eatables made to Śiva (śivanirmālya) and those who offer these to others (dātṛ), the mere touch (sparśa) of these persons, it is said, is sinful (apuṇyakṛt). Even poison (viṣa) is not so dangerous when drunk (peya). Never shall a person make use of Śiva’s property (śivasva) even if he were to die. [...]”.
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.
