Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationTrisura (त्रिसुर) refers to the “three deities” who “constitute the soul of all living beings”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.43.—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Dakṣa:—“[...] Brahmā, Viṣṇu and I constitute the chief cause of the universe. But I am the soul, the witness, self-seer and without attributes. [...] He attains peace, who does not see any difference among the three deities (trisura) who constitute the soul of all living beings and who have the same innate property, O Dakṣa. The base man who differentiates the deities of the Trinity (i.e., trideva) certainly stays in hell as long as the moon and the stars shine”.
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.
