Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚivāpamāna (शिवापमान) refers to “having offended Śiva”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Bṛhaspati said to the Gods: “O gods, run away, all of you. There is no trace of the great mountain Droṇa. Certainly it has been destroyed by the Asura, the son of the ocean. Jalandhara is a great Asura. He cannot be conquered since he is born of a part of Śiva. He will pound all the gods. His power has been understood by me as he is self-born. O gods, all of you remember the act of offence to Śiva (śivāpamāna-kṛt) perpetrated by Indra”.
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.
