In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVicintita (विचिन्तित) means “to reflect upon something” (i.e., ‘to think something over’), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.19 (“Kāma’s destruction by Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā said to Nārada: “O dear one, hear the story of what happened thereafter. Out of love for me I shall recount Śiva’s sports that bring about joy. On seeing the dissipation of His courage, lord Śiva, the great Yogin, thought [i.e., vicintita] within Himself wondering much”.
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.
