Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationRakṣitum (रक्षितुम्) means “to protect”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.20 (“The fight between the Gaṇas and the Asuras”).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “[...] O lord, Viṣṇu who was assigned by you the task of protection is now unable to protect us (rakṣitum). He is also subservient to him and stays in his mansion along with Lakṣmī. All of us gods stay there obeying his behests. O Śiva, we have approached you unobserved by him. That powerful son of the ocean is coming hither to fight with you. O omniscient lord, you shall kill Jalandhara in the battle without delay. Save us who have sought refuge in you”.
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.
