Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationSaṅkṣipta (सङ्क्षिप्त) refers to “having withdrawn (one’s weapon)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.15 (“Gaṇeśa’s battle”).—Accordingly, as Gaṇeśa fought with Śiva’s Gaṇas: “[...] The valorous sixfaced deity alone did not flee. The great warrior stopped everyone and stood in front. But the Gaṇas fought in vain with the two Śaktis. The weapons of the gods and the Gaṇas were broken and hence withdrawn (saṅkṣipta) by them. Those that tarried went to Śiva. All the gods and Gaṇas fled. [...]”.
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.
