Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaPṛthuraśmi (पृथुरश्मि).—One of those who are named 'Yati'. The Yatis were a people of anti-yajña feelings and were all burnt to death in Indra’s fire of wrath. But three yatis, Bṛhadgiri, Rayovāja and Pṛthuraśmi were taken care of by Indra and Indra taught them Brahmavidyā, Kṣatriyavidyā and Vaiśyavidyā.
Pṛthuraśmi compelled Indra to grant him Kṣātratejas also along with Kṣātravidyā. There is now a sāma even in the name of Pṛthuraśmi. (Pañca-viṃśa-Brāhmaṇa).
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, 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.
