Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationJanmavat (जन्मवत�) refers to “any being that is born�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.22 (“Description of Jalandhara’s Battle�).—Accordingly, as Jalandhara said to the Daityas: “[...] No sensible man should ever be afraid of death. Death is inevitable notwithstanding all the remedies employed to ward it off. O heroes, death is congenital to any being born (janmavat). Either today or at the end of a hundred years all living beings are sure to die. Hence, cast off all fear for death. Come and fight in war joyously. In every respect there is certainly a great bliss here and hereafter�.

The Purana (पुरा�, 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.

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.
