In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationStheya (स्थेय) refers “to be stationed”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.19 (“Kāma’s destruction by Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to the Gods: “[...] After abducting the boy [Pradyumna], the great demon, Śambara, will throw him in the sea. The foolish fellow will take him for dead and will return to his city. O Rati, you shall stay [i.e., stheya] in his city till then. There alone you will get back your husband Pradyumna. Kāma in the name of Pradyumna will regain his wife after killing Śambara in a battle. O gods, he will be happy thereafter. After taking all the valuable properties of Śambara, O gods, he will go to the city again along with her. These words of mine are true”.
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 to German]
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.
