If the words are interpreted in the etymological sense, every hymn in the Veda can be understood as directly referring to the One God. Ramanujacarya, Madhvacarya, Jayatirtha, Raghavendra, Atmananda, Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Sri Aurobindo.4 T.V. Kapali Sastry were all of this view.

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationĀdhidaivika (आधिदैविक) refers to “divine calamities”, representing one of the three types of hindrances (vighna), as mentioned in the Śivapurāṇa 1.18.—Accordingly, “[...] an intelligent man must worship all deities in order to ward off all sorts of hindrances (vighna). [...] The third type of hindrance is Ādhidaivika (divine calamities). When lightning strikes, small pox, cholera, plague, typhus fever and similar infectious diseases spread and bad awful dreams, evil planets affecting the birth star or Rāśi (sign of the zodiac) occur, these hindrances are called Ādhidaivika. [...] In order to ward off these hindrances and on occasions when one touches a corpse, a Cāṇḍāla or a fallen man and goes inside without bathing, Śānti Yajña shall be performed to remove the evil effects”.
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.
