In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Unmajjana (उन्मज्जन) (Cf. Nimajjana) refers to the “rising of the earth” [?], as mentioned in the Yogavasistha 6.26.—Accordingly, as Bhuśuṇḍa says to Vasiṣṭha: “[...] The earth has been sinking and rising repeatedly [i.e., unmajjana-nimajjana], since the great deluge, and I have been witnessing the submersion and immersion of things, and the perdition and reproduction of beings, without any change of the sedateness of my soul and mind. I never think of the past and future, my sight is fixed only on the present, and my mind sees the remote past and future as ever present before it. I am employed in the business that presents itself to me, and never care for their toil nor care for their reward. I live as one in sleep and solely with myself [= the state of kaivalya or solity]. [...]”.
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.
