Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation笔谤补峁嘺惫补箩补辫补 (啶啶班ぃ啶掂啶�) refers to the repetition of the Pra峁嘺va (the syllable 鈥淥m鈥�), as defined in the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺 1.17. Accordingly, 鈥淸...] a devotee who thus completes one hundered and eight crores of Japas of Pra峁嘺va (Om) and is thus fully enlightened shall master 艢uddhayoga. A person who has thus mastered 艢uddhayoga becomes certainly a liberated living soul. A Mah膩yogin who performs Japas and meditations perpetually of 艢iva in the form of Pra峁嘺va and maintains mystic trance, certainly becomes 艢iva Himself. He must perform Japas after duly performing the A峁単any膩sa (ritualistic placing of the finger over the different parts of the body as prescribed) and invoke the sages concerned, the deities presiding over and the name of the metre in which the verse is composed. The devotee who practises the Japa of Pra峁嘺va (Om) with due ritualistic placings of fingers on the parts of his body becomes a sage. He shall attain all the benefits of the ritualistic Ny膩sa such as the blessings of ten mothers and the (attainment of) six pathways鈥�.
The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 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.
