Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationŚrutitattva (श्रुतितत्त्व) refers to the “essence of the Vedas”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.2.—Accordingly, as Sanaka cursed the three daughters (i.e., Menā, Dhanyā, Kalāvatī) of Svadhā:—“[...] inspite of being the daughters of the forefathers, ye three sisters are foolish, bereft of wisdom and ignorant of the essence of the Vedas (i.e., ajñāta-śrutitattva). You did not stand up nor did you pay any respects to us. You were haughty and deluded and so evinced a deluded disposition of human beings. Hence all of you shall leave heaven. May the three sisters deluded by ignorance be born as human womenfolk. May ye reap this fruit as a result of the power of your own action”.
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.
