Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationNavīnaka (नवीनक) refers to a “new (employee)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.14 (“The Gaṇas argue and wrangle”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to his Gaṇas: “Who is this fellow? What does he say? He is standing there haughtily as though he is our enemy. What will that wicked knave do? Certainly he wants to die. Why? Are you dastardly eunuchs to stand here helplessly and complain to me about him. Let this new (navīnaka) doorkeeper be thrown out”.
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.
