Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translationٱܻ (देवायु�) refers to the “weapons of the Gods�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.15 (“Gaṇeśa’s battle�).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] None of the weapons of the gods (ܻ) was seen anywhere around the iron club of Gaṇeśa. This wonderful feat was performed by them. A single boy stirred and churned the vast impassable army in the same manner as great mountain churned the ocean of milk formerly. Indra and other gods were struck by him, single-handed. The Gaṇas of Śiva became agitated and distressed then. Gasping frequently for their breath, being utterly shaken by his blows they gathered together and spoke to one another. [...]�.

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.
