Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVicetaska (विचेतस्क) refers to an “aching heart”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.4 (“The Tripuras are initiated).—Accordingly, as Viṣṇu’s self-created Puruṣa entered the Three Cities: “[...] O sage, his magic was ineffective in the three cities by virtue of Śiva’s worship. Then the heretic sage became distressed. He mentally remembered and eulogised Viṣṇu many times, with an aching heart (vicetaska) [vicetasko hṛdayena]. He had been so dispirited and listless. On being remembered by him Viṣṇu mentally thought of Śiva. Receiving his behest by the process of thought forms he remembered Nārada. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
