In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translationūٲ (अपूत) refers to “unholy (ash)� (from the funeral pyre), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.28 (“Description of the fraudulent words of the Brahmacārin�).—Accordingly, as Pārvatī said to Śiva (in guise of a Brahmacārin): “[...] Although Śiva resorts to inauspicious things yet by thinking on Him everything becomes auspicious. His worship fulfils all desires. How can there be aberration in Him who always remains in an unmodified state. People are sanctified by merely seeing the person in whose mouth the auspicious name ‘Śiva� is ever present. If, as you say, the ash from the funeral pyre is unholy (ūٲ), how is it that the same transferred to Śiva’s body is taken thence and worn on the head by the gods? [...]�.

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.
