Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationYajñavibhūti (यज्ञविभूति) refers to the “holy sacrificial ashes”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.44 (“Menā regains consciousness”).—Accordingly, as Menā said to her daughter (Pārvatī): “[...] Throwing away cooked rice you have eaten the husk. Spilling away the clarified butter you have eagerly swallowed castor oil. Setting the lion aside a jackal has been served by you. Without listening to the lore of Supreme Brahman you have heard base ballads. O daughter, casting off the holy sacrificial ashes (yajñavibhūti) at home you have taken the inauspicious ashes from the funeral pyre. [...]”.
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.
