Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translationʲī (परीप्सा) refers to “saving (someone’s life)�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.9 (“Boasting of Tāraka�).—Accordingly, as Tāraka-Asura said to the Gods: “[...] Doing such sinful acts frequently Viṣṇu and Śiva are already deficient in splendour and their prowess is spent out. [...] These two impudent fellows are presumptuous enough to place (ṛt) a child in front of me. Why? I will kill the child too. They too will have it. But let the child leave from here and save his life (ṇa貹ī)�.

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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (ṃsṛt), 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.
