Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSindhuputra (सिन्धुपुत्र) refers to the “son of the ocean” and is used to describe Jalandhara, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “Once the son of the ocean, the noble-hearted husband of Vṛndā, was seated along with his wife and the Asuras. The brilliant Bhārgava came there joyously illuminating the ten quarters as the embodied brilliance. On seeing the preceptor coming, the Asuras were delighted in their minds and bowed to him. The son of the ocean (sindhuputra) too respectfully bowed to him. [...]”.
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.
