Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVihvalita (विह्वलित) refers to “being endowed with (fear)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, after Bṛhaspati spoke to the Gods: “On hearing these words uttered by the preceptor of the gods, they abandoned all hopes of victory. They became excessively terrified (bhaya-vihvalita). All the gods including Indra, struck by the king of the Asuras all round, lost courage and fled in all directions. On seeing the gods routed, the Asura, Jalandhara, the son of the ocean, entered Amarāvatī with sounds of victory from the conches and drums. [...]”.
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.
