Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationԳܰ첹ṣa (अनुकर्�) refers to the “bottom of the carriage� (of a chariot), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.8 (“The detailed description of the chariot etc.�).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “The divine chariot of lord Śiva consisting of all the worlds was built by Viśvakarman with devoted effort. [...] The year constituted its velocity. The two Ayanas northern and southern constituted the junctions of the wheels and axles. The Muhūrtas constituted the joints and the Kalās the pins of the yoke. The division of time Kāṣṭhā constituted the nose of the chariot and the Kṣaṇas the axle-shaft. The Nimeṣas constituted the bottom of the carriage (Գܰ첹ṣa) and the minutest divisions of time constituted the poles. [...]�.

The Purana (पुरा�, 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.
