In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Troṭita (त्रोटित) refers one who is “mutilated” (i.e., in battle), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.42.—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] then Rudra saw the extent of destruction carried out by Vīrabhadra, of the sacrifice and of the celestial sages. Svāhā, Svadhā, Pūṣan, Tuṣṭi, Dhṛti, Sarasvatī, the sages, the manes, Agnis, many others like Yakṣas, Gandharvas, Rākṣasas who were mutilated (i.e., troṭita), wounded or killed in the battle were seen by him laughingly”.
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.
