Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationYogajñāna (योगज्ञान) refers to the “Yogic theory”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.2 (“The birth of Śiva’s son”).—Accordingly, after Viṣṇu spoke to Śiva: “On hearing that, the great lord, an expert in Yogic theory (yogajñāna), though free from lust, did not emit the semen, fearing to offend Pārvatī. He came to the door, near the gods distressed by the demon. Śiva is the benefactor favourably disposed to His devotees. On seeing lord Śiva, favourably disposed to His devotees, the gods including me and Viṣṇu became extremely happy. [...]”.
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.

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.
