Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Wisdom Library: Skanda-puranaś (कौ�) refers to certain kind of ungent and is mentioned in a list of charitable gifts that claim to help minimise the heat-effects of Vaiśākha, according to the Skandapurāṇa 2.7.3.—Accordingly, “[...] he who gives the different kinds of unguents, viz. Auśīra, Cāṣaka (?) and ś (?) rendered fragrant by the addition of water, shall have the assistance of Devas, O great king, in (the enjoyment of) worldly pleasures. His sins will be destroyed and miseries will disappear. He shall attain the supreme bliss of salvation�.

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.
