Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaŚāradaṇḍāyani (शारदण्डायनि).—A Kekaya King. His wife, Śrutasenā was the younger sister of Kuntī. As the couple did not get a child even very long after their marriage, the King got performed, with Śrutasenā’s permission, the 'Puṃsavana' yajña with the result that three sons (Durjaya and others) were born to them. (Ādi Parva, Chapter 111).
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.

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.
