Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translationⲹٰ (उद्यतास्त्�) refers to “arrows sticking out of one’s body�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.7 (“Commencement of the War�).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The backs of some were torn with javelins and goads. Several heads chopped off by double-edged swords fell on the ground. Hundreds of headless, limbless trunks were seen dancing and bouncing with arrows sticking to their hands (ܻⲹٰ). Blood flowed like streams in hundreds of places. Hundreds of ghosts and goblins flocked there. [...]�.

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.
