In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Sutyā (सुत्या).—A special ceremonial of the Soma sacrifice (of pṛthu); the havis for Bṛhaspati offered to Indra, and hence the Sūta—Bṛhaspati and Indra, master and disciple; the wrong offering led to Sūta's varṇa vaikṛta.*
- * Vāyu-purāṇa 1. 34; 62. 137.
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.
