Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Yojanīya (योजनीय) refers to “fitting (a head upon someone’s body)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.17 (“The Resuscitation of Gaṇeśa”).—Accordingly, after Pārvatī spoke to the Sages: “Thus warned, you and other sages returned and intimated to all the gods everything in detail. On hearing that, Indra and other gods joined their palms in reverence and piteously intimated to Śiva what had transpired there. On hearing what the gods said, Śiva spoke thus—‘It shall be done accordingly so that there may be peace over all the worlds. You shall go to the northern direction and whatever person you meet at first you cut off his head and fit it (yojanīya) to this body’”.

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.
