Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationվṣaԳٲ (विषयाक्रान्त) refers to “one being drawn to worldly enjoyment� [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī�).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Viṣṇu: “[...] Anyone bound with nooses of iron and timber can secure release but one bound with nooses of women never frees oneself. Worldly enjoyment tightens the bondage. Salvation is inaccessible to a man drawn to worldly enjoyment [i.e., ṣaԳٲ�ṣaṃtԲ�] even in his dream. If he wishes for happiness, an intelligent man shall duly forsake all worldly pleasures. Worldly enjoyment that dooms persons is on a par with poison. [...]�.

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.
