Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationTyaktum (त्यक्तुम्) refers to “losing” (one’s life), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.9 (“Boasting of Tāraka”).—Accordingly, as Tāraka-Asura said to the Gods: “[...] Doing such sinful acts frequently Viṣṇu and Śiva are already deficient in splendour and their prowess is spent out. You will never gain victory in the battle by relying on them. Why then did you foolishly come here to lose (tyaktum) your lives? These two, always seeking selfish ends, do not know what is virtue. O gods, without virtue every rite becomes futile. [...]”.
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.
