Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVismṛtātmagati (विस्मृतात्मगति) refers to an “individual soul strayed from his ultimate goal”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.26. Accordingly as Nandin cursed Dakṣa (and others):—“[...] With the power of Śiva (backing me) I now heap curses on these Brahmins here who are against Śiva and hence wicked like you. [...] Dakṣa will become goat-faced ere long. He will be indulging in vulgar worldly lustful pleasures (grāmyasukha-icchā), and evil strategies. He will be laying down rules for rituals and perpetually discussing Vedic passages. His bright pleasing face will disappear. He will become individual soul strayed from his ultimate goal (vismṛtātmagati). He will fall from his holy rites and indulge in wicked deeds.’”.
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.
