Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaHarimitra (हरिमित्र).—A brahmin, who had his āśrama on the banks of the Yamunā. Owing to his association with Harimitra a sinner called Vikuṇḍala took his bath in the sacred waters of the Kālindī during two Māgha months. The first bath released him from all his sins and the second bath made him eligible to go to heaven. Thus Harimitra was responsible for the attainment of heaven by the sinner Vikuṇḍala. (Padma Purāṇa, Ādi Khaṇḍa, Chapter 31).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), 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.
