Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSṛṣṭināśa (सृष्टिनाश) refers to the “annihilation of all creations”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.35 (“The story of Padmā and Pippalāda”).—Accordingly, as Padmā (wife of sage Pippalāda) said to Dharma: “[...] This sky, these quarters and the winds may get destroyed but the curse of a chaste lady will never be destroyed. In the Satyayuga you shine with all the legs, O king of gods, on all occasions, day or night, like the moon on a full moon night. If you are destroyed, the annihilation of all creations (sṛṣṭināśa) will occur. But a sense of helpless despair is unnecessary. So I shall explain. [...]”.
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.
