Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationDevatādhama (देवताधम) refers to a “base god”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.15 (“The birth of Jalandhara and his marriage”).—Accordingly, as Jalandhara said to Indra: “O base god (devatādhama), why was my father, the ocean, churned by you with the mountain? Why were all the jewels of my father taken away? What you have done is not proper. Return all of them to me immediately. Pondering over this, come along with the gods and seek refuge in me. Otherwise, O base god, you will have a great cause to fear. You will run the risk of the annihilation of your kingdom”.
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.
