Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Shodhganga: The saurapurana - a critical studyŚukreśvara (शुक्रेश्वर) or Śukreśvaraliṅga is the name of a Tīrtha (holy places) situated at Vārāṇasī, according to the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Vārāṇasī has remained a place dear to Śiva. It is supposed to be a place of mokṣa for all living creatures. There are many sacred places and innumerable liṅgas which are even unknown to Brahmā, so says the Saurapurāṇa. [...] Śukreśvara-liṅga situated there is the giver of all kinds of perfection. Śukrācārya is said to have acquired the saṃjīvanī-vidyā by worshipping Śiva here. In the southeastern direction of Śukreśvara lies a pond. A bath at this pond gives the result of aśvamedha sacrifice.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
