Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVitalaloka (वितललोक) refers to the “second of the seven regions descending from the earth”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.12 (“The Gods go back to their abodes”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Maya-Asura: “O excellent Asuras you are my devotees and are blessed. You are free from aberrations. All the boons desired by you are granted now. At my bidding, you go to the region Vitala (vitalaloka) [gaccha tvaṃ vitalaṃ lokaṃ], more beautiful than heaven. Go in the company of your family and kinsmen. You stay there without fear. Be devout always. At my bidding you will never have demonaic instinct”.
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.
