Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚrutimārga (श्रुतिमार्ग) refers to the “path of Śruti”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.9 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Tāraka-Asura said to the Gods: “[...] Taking birth as Rama he killed a woman (Tāḍakā). Bālī’s death was brought about by him with a vile trick. A brahmin descendant of Viśravas was killed by him. Thus he violated the injunction of the Śruti. Sinful that he was, he forsook his own innocent wife. There too, he violated the path of Śruti (śrutimārga) for achieving his selfish end. [...]”.
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.
