Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVismayānvita (विस्मयान्वित) refers to “being surprised”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.14 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, after the Gods spoke to Brahmā: “[...] When Brahmā the grandfather of the worlds came there, he saw the boy in the lap of the ocean. On seeing Brahmā coming, the ocean assuming the form of a god bowed to him and placed the boy in his lap. Then the surprised (vismayānvita) Brahmā spoke these words to the ocean—‘O ocean, tell me quickly about the parentage of this boy’”.
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.
