Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Vyākulamānasā (व्याकुलमानसा) refers to “one whose mind is terrified”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.1 (“The dalliance of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as the Gods said to Lord Viṣṇu: “O Viṣṇu, the lord of the gods, O lord and protector of all, save us who have sought refuge in you and whose minds are acutely terrified (bhaya-vyākulamānasā). The vital air of the three worlds is stunned. We do not know wherefore. The three worlds including the mobile and immobile as well as the gods and the sages are excited”.

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.
