In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Svargada (स्वर्गद) refers to “that (story) which yields heavenly pleasure”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.12 (“The Gods go back to their abodes”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “Thus the exalted narrative of the moon-crested lord indicative of the annihilation of Tripuras coupled with the great divine sports has been narrated to you. It is conducive to wealth, fame, and longevity. It increases prosperity and possession of food-grains. It yields heavenly pleasure (svargada) and salvation. What else do you wish to hear? He who reads and hears the exalted narrative will enjoy all pleasures here and attain salvation hereafter”.
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.
