Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationVedasammita (वेदसम्मित) refers to “(that which is) as venerable as the Vedas”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.32 (“The seven celestial sages arrive”).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to the Seven Sages: “[...] O sages, on hearing it they were dejected (sunirviṇṇa) and have now lost interest in me and do not wish to give their daughter to me. Hence you all go to the abode of Himavat and urge the excellent mountain and his wife. Speak out the words as venerable as the Vedas (vedasammita). Do everything necessary to get the matter straightened out and settled. [...]”.
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.
