Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVyājatyakta (व्याजत्यक्त) refers to “being forced to abandon something under false persuasion”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.6 (“Prayer to Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to the Gods: “O lord of gods, all the intentions of the gods have been understood by me now. [...] But the great Asuras are my firm devotees. They shall be killed only by me, for they have been forced to abandon their excellent virtue under false persuasion (vyājatyakta) [atha vadhyā mayaiva syurvyājatyaktavṛṣottamāḥ]. Let Viṣṇu or any one else slay them now that they have been made to abandon their Dharma. The Asuras of the three cities have become devoid of devotion to me”.
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.
