In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaҲ屹Բ (गदावसा�).—A particular centre in Madhurāpurī. The name owes its origin to the following reason. When Kṛṣṇa killed Kaṃsa, his father-in-law Jarāsandha got so angry that he hurled his gadā (club) ninetynine times at Madhurāpurī from his capital, Girivraja. The spot where the gadā finally fell came to be called Ҳ屹Բ in course of time. (Mahābhārata Sabhā Parva, Chapter 18, Verses 22-25).

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.

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.
