Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaBāladhi (बालधि).—An ancient hermit. He was powerful. He performed a severe penance for getting sons. The Devatās appeared and granted him a boon. Accordingly a son called Medhāvin was born to him. Once Medhāvin teased the great hermit Dhanuṣākṣa, who cursed him to death. (Mahābhārata, Vana Parva, Chapter 135).
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.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

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.
