Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVibodhanā (विबोधना) refers to “she of special knowledge” and is used to describe the Goddess (i.e., Pārvatī), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.15 (“Gaṇeśa’s battle”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The six-faced deity and the other gods who came there failed to use their weapons effectively. They were very much surprised. In the meantime, goddess, the mother of the universe, of special knowledge (vibodhanā), came to know of the entire incident and was very furious. O great sage, the goddess created two Śaktis then and there for the assistance of her own Gaṇa. [...]”.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
