Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationTripuravāsin (त्रिपुरवासिन्) refers to the “denizens of the three cities”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.2 (“The Prayer of the gods).—Accordingly, as the Gods said to Śiva: “[...] The terrible Asuras take the entire share of the sacrificial benefits to themselves. They have initiated evil activities. They have prevented the sages from performing their virtuous rites. Definitely the sons of Tāraka cannot be killed by any living being. Hence, O Śiva, they perform everything as they please. Let some policy be laid down for the protection of the universe lest the terrible Asuras, the denizens of the three cities (tripuravāsin), should destroy the world”.
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.
