Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationUpahāsyatā (उपहास्यता) (or Atyupahāsyatā) refers to “becoming a laughing-stock”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, as Gaṇeśa said to Śiva’s Gaṇas: “Get away. Get away. Or I shall give you a foretaste of my fierce valour. You will be the laughing-stock of all (ati-upahāsyatā) [yāsyathātyupahāsyatām]”.
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.
