Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Yoga Vasishtha MaharamayanaMūloddharaṇa (मूलोद्धरण) refers to “rooting out the tree (of desire)”, as mentioned in the Yogavasistha 6.33 (“Resolution of duality into unity”).—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vasiṣṭha: “[...] It is the thought or imagination, that makes the false world appear as true; and it depends upon the thought also, that the world vanishes into nothing. It is the net work of our thoughts and desires, that is interwoven with the threads of our repeated births; but the winds of our apathy and indifference blow off this web, and settle us in the state of supreme felicity. Avarice is a thorny plant, that has taken deep root in the human heart; it is fostered under the shade of the arbor of desire, root out this tree of desire (saṃkalpa-mūloddharaṇa), and the thorny bush of avarice will fade away of itself. [...]”.
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.

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.
