In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀٳ (आत्मविद्) refers to the “knowers of the Self�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.26. Accordingly as Śiva said to Nanda, after the latter cursed Dakṣa (and others):—“[...] O Nandin of great intellect, listen. Do not get angry. You have cursed the Brahmins in vain, erroneously thinking that I have been cursed. Vedas are in the form of syllables of verses and hymns. The Self is established in the Sūkta, whomsoever it may belong to. Hence do not angrily curse the knowers of the Self (ٳ). The Vedas shall not be cursed by anyone, not even by the evil-minded�.

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 to German]
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.
