In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaSūkṣmaprakṛti (सूक्ष्मप्रकृति).—The cause which is indestructible, not clear and having always goodness as its form is Sūkṣmaprakṛti. That unspeakable nature has no base. Sūkṣmaprakṛti is immovable and indestructible. There is no sound or form or touch in it. This nature which has no beginning or end, which has only three attributes is the root cause of the universe. This entire universe was pervaded by this power from the beginning of the great deluge to the beginning of creation. Then there was no night or day, no earth or Sky, no light or darkness. Then there was only Brahman the union of Prakṛti and Puruṣa which could not be perceived by sense organs or intelligence. (See under Prakṛti).
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSūkṣmaprakṛti (सूक्ष्मप्रकृति) refers to the “subtle Prakṛti”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.13 (“Śiva-Pārvatī dialogue”).—Accordingly, as Pārvatī said to Śiva: “[...] O lord, please ponder over who you are and who this subtle Prakṛti is [i.e., sūkṣmaprakṛti—prakṛtissūkṣmā]. Without Prakṛti how can the great lord of the phallic form exist? You are worthy of the worship, respect and meditation of all living beings for ever, thanks to Prakṛti. Thinking of this in your heart, please reply”.
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.
