Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationRaṇasaṃgata (रणसंगत) refers to “joining the midst of a battle”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.8 (“The battle between the gods and Asuras”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] Saying thus and taking up his trident, Vīrabhadra mentally meditated on Śiva and fought with Tāraka, accompanied by Pramathas. With many heroic soldiers riding on bulls, wielding the tridents and possessing three eyes he shone well in the midst of that battle (raṇasaṃgata). Keeping Vīrabhadra at their head, and shouting fearlessly jubilantly, hundreds of the Gaṇas fought with the Asuras. [...]”.
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.
