Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJātakarmādi (जातकर्मादि) refers to the “postnatal rites for children”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.14 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as the Ocean said to Brahmā: “O Brahmā, O lord of the worlds, this boy was suddenly seen in the confluence of the river Gaṅgā. I do not know about the origin of this boy. O preceptor of the universe, you perform the postnatal rites for this boy (jātakarmādi-saṃskāra). O creator, let me know your predictions about his future according to his horoscope”.
The Purana (पुराण, 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.
