Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationChalājñā (छलाज्ञा) refers to “deceptive orders”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.20 (“The celebration of Gaṇeśa’s marriage”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Kārttikeya (son of Śiva): “[...] Begetting two sons of auspicious features of his wives Gaṇeśa is continuously enjoying happiness as conceived by your parents. The entire earth consisting of oceans and jungles has been traversed by you due to their deceptive behest (chalājñā) [tacchalājñāvaśāttāta tasya]. O dear, this is the result of that. O dear, consider. If parents begin to deceive or particularly if our masters begin to deceive, won’t others also begin to deceive. [...]”.
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.
