Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJñānabhoga (ज्ञानभोग) refers to “enjoyment due to knowledge” and is the name of a region stationed beyond Karmabhoga, as defined in the Śivapurāṇa 1.17. Accordingly, “[...] at the end of the same [the fifty-six worlds ending with Ahiṃsāloka] is the wheel of Time (Kālacakra) and beyond the ken of Time there is the space called Kālātīta. [...] Beneath that is the Karmabhoga enjoyment as a result of activity. Beyond that point is Jñānabhoga (enjoyment due to knowledge). Beneath that point is Karmamāyā and beyond that point is Jñānamāyā”.
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.
