Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVimanaska (विमनस्क) refers to “becoming dispirited”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.6 (“Prayer to Śiva”).—Accordingly, after Śiva spoke to the Gods: “O great sage, on hearing these words of Śiva, all the heaven-dwellers and Viṣṇu became dispirited (vimanaska). On seeing the gods and Viṣṇu sitting cheerless, Brahmā, the creator of the worlds spoke to Śiva with palms joined in reverence”.
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.
