Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationTuṣya (तुष्य) or Santuṣya refers to “congratulating and complimenting (each other)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.36 (“The statements of the seven sages”).—Accordingly, after the Seven Sages spoke to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] The great chaste lady Arundhatī tempted Menā further with Śiva’s good qualities. According to the worldly convention they smeared the moustache of the mountain with powdered turmeric and saffron as an auspicious custom. After fixing the auspicious Lagna for the marriage and congratulating and complimenting (santuṣya) one another the sages came to Śiva’s abode on the fourth day. After reaching the place, Vasiṣṭha and other sages bowed to Śiva and eulogised Him with different hymns. They then spoke to lord Śiva”.
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.
