Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationValgat (वल्गत्) refers to “swaggering and vaunting” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.10 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Tāraka-Asura fought with Kārttikeya: “[...] They were equally good adepts in fighting. Each wanted to kill the other. They utilised all their power. With the edges of spears they hit each other. They hit or cut each other’s head, neck, thighs, knees, hips, heart, chest and the back. They continued the fight swaggering and vaunting (valgat) with heroic words [valgantau vīraśabdaiśca]. They were experts in different tactics of warfare. They were equally strong. They desired to kill each other. [...]”.
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, 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.
